Echoworx, a provider of credential management and managed encryption services for complete e-mail and data protection, announced a new encryption solution that brings end-to-end mobile encryption and credential management capabilities to enterprises.

The new mobilEncrypt encryption solution is designed to meet the needs of mobile business users. It addresses all cloud applications, major devices and mobile platforms, such as smartphones and tablets.

According to Michael Ginsberg, CEO of Echoworx, the challenge with mobile security is the use of multiple operating systems within an enterprise. “As a result, they have been unable to replicate the breadth of encryption capabilities that exist in the non-mobile world.”

Until recently, the only available solutions have been deployed on a piecemeal basis to address specific operating systems, cloud applications or endpoint devices, Ginsberg added.

mobilEncrypt is interoperable with all other Echoworx encryption products and addresses a complete range of mobile platforms, including iOS (iPhone, iPad), Android and BlackBerry (News - Alert) devices. Echoworx mobilEncrypt will also complement Apple's new release of iOS Version 5.0 in the fall.

“Users can download an endpoint solution from the app store of their choosing, or apply the Echoworx (News - Alert) solution to secure content delivery and storage in the cloud,” said Ginsberg. “Our solutions work natively within any messaging environment in conjunction with a credential management platform, to provide confidentiality, integrity, authentication and authorization.”

Another advantage of mobilEncrypt is that it can be easily integrated with mobile device management (MDM) solutions to deliver complete security for smartphones and tablets. By combining mobile encryption with a credential management platform, the company helps MDMs solve problems that they can't accomplish on their own.

Back in April, Echoworx announced a partnership with AnubisNetworks, a developer of security Software-as-a-Service (SaaS (News - Alert)) solutions and specialists in e-mail and Internet protection systems for small, medium, and large-sized businesses and service providers.
