Pointsec, the worldwide de facto standard
for mobile device security, today announced that it is broadening its endpoint
security solutions to encompass Linux -- the world's fastest-growing operating
system. Pointsec for Linux(TM) enables users to protect their most
confidential data stored on laptops and desktop computers running Linux.
Pointsec is the only company in the endpoint security market to provide
complete hard disk encryption for this increasingly important enterprise
platform.
"The explosion of Linux, especially on notebook PCs that are easily lost
or stolen, has created a compelling need for strong, automatic data security
for that platform," said Peter Larsson, President and CEO for Pointsec. "Our
customers -- the world's leading enterprises and government organizations --
must ensure complete security for classified data, intellectual property,
trade secrets, and personal identity, financial, and health information stored
on mobile devices and desktops -- regardless of operating system."
Pointsec's data encryption solutions enable secure deployment of mobile
devices, giving users complete confidence that confidential information is
available only to legitimate users. Pointsec ensures instant, automatic
encryption and decryption that is transparent to users and does not impede
performance or productivity. Pointsec supports every major operating system
for PCs, PDAs, and smart phones, and secures all information stored on the
mobile devices and on removable memory media with full-disk encryption.
Pointsec for Linux will be available in early 2005. With this latest
release, Pointsec solidifies its position as the leader in mobile device
security -- with the most customers deployed, highest level of security
certification, and more complete device coverage than any other company.
Pointsec has also been recognized by the Gartner Group for three years running
as the only Leader in its Magic Quadrant(R) for mobile data encryption.
