Currently, the alliance comprises companies that provide market-leading mobile device management (MDM), mobile application management (MAM), mobile content protection and mobile data leak protection (DLP). Alliance companies announced today are Apperian, Good Technology, MobileIron, OpenPath Products and Websense.
“Enterprises are struggling with vendor selection due to the pace of change in the mobile industry and the intricacies of tying together enterprise mobile security solutions in a manageable way,” said Jeremy Stieglitz, vice president business development for Voltage Security. “By bringing together these best-of-breed solutions, customers can be confident that these technologies work together to augment enterprise mobile security.”
The Voltage Security Mobile Plus Initiative, announced in February, is a comprehensive approach to providing data-centric enterprise security for mobile devices, applications and data.
Recently, Voltage announced the first in a series of products as part of this initiative, the Voltage SecureMail Mobile Edition, which protects confidential messages and attachments, while mitigating the risk of data breaches and meeting the needs of compliance mandates. Transparent to use and easy to implement and scale, without adding complexity and overhead for key management, Voltage SecureMail Mobile Edition cements Voltage Security’s leadership in delivering a data-centric approach to protecting data on leading mobile devices.
Each of the alliance companies brings valuable extensions to enterprise security for email and related mobile device management. They include the following:
· · Apperian: delivers enterprise mobility services to securely manage the full lifecycle of mobile apps for iOS, Android, and BlackBerry.
