CHICAGO-Nokia announced it has teamed with Pointsec Mobile Technologies AB for an encryption solution designed to protect mobile data for enterprise users.
The Pointsec for Symbian OS solution, which will encrypt data, including e-mail, short message service and multimedia messaging service messages, calendar, contacts and memory card data, will be available for Nokia Series 60 and Nokia Series 80 devices, beginning with the Nokia 9500 Communicator.
“As devices become increasingly sophisticated and more company sensitive information is stored on them, it is vital to bring the same level of security to mobile devices as currently exists on wired IT devices such as laptops.” Said Panu Kuusisto, director of alliances at Nokia Enterprise Solutions.
