        Credant Technologies and Cranite Systems are offering a jointly developed, government-certified wireless security software suite that supports Windows Mobile based devices. The companies say the joint solution is well suited for government agencies, financial services, and healthcare customers that need to meet demanding security and confidentiality compliance standards imposed by government regulations...


        and has been elected by the U.S. Army Medical Command (MedCom).

        Credant says its Mobile Guardian device security and management software, together with Cranite's WirelessWall wireless LAN security software, provide end-to-end security that protects enterprise data accessed from the network, transmitted over wireless LANs and stored on mobile devices. According to Credant Mobile Guardian enforces on-device security policies that control user and device access (including self-service password reset); encryption of files, folders, disks and/or removable media; and authorization policies that control where devices can synchronize, what applications can run on the device, as well as use of communication ports, external media cards, cameras, and microphones.

        Cranite's WirelessWall software is intended to control access to wireless networks, guarding against attacks like man-in-the-middle, identity theft, or denial of service. In addition, its Layer 2 protection is said to allow users to securely pass from one wireless sub-net to another, without experiencing interruptions or having to re-authenticate or reboot their devices.
