Mobile Application Management
With the acquisition of Nukona, Symantec now offers CIOs
the cross-platform mobile application management needed to
help organizations containerize corporate applications and
protect sensitive data. The app and data protection
capabilities from Nukona are now available from Symantec in
both SaaS and on-prem models. This innovative approach
helps enterprises seamlessly distribute, secure and control
applications and data without requiring them to manage the
complete devices. With the ability to natively protect and
control iOS, Android and HTML5 apps, Symantec addresses the
core problem of corporate and personal data separation
without limiting the end-user experience or application
adoption.
Symantec Data Loss Prevention for Mobile
Formerly known as Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for
Tablets, Symantec Data Loss Prevention for Mobile will
include added support for the iPhone. The solution will
help CISOs monitor and control the transmission of
confidential data from mobile devices without restricting
users' access to applications. Combined with the recent
release of Symantec Mobile Management, Data Loss Prevention
for Mobile will provide the industry's most comprehensive
solution to enable organizations to support business
productivity and personal use concurrently. By adding
iPhone support to existing support for iPad, Symantec will
provide comprehensive DLP for one of the most widely
deployed enterprise mobile operating systems. Data Loss
Prevention for Mobile is scheduled to be generally
available in the second half of 2012.
Symantec Certificate Intelligence Center for Mobile
Symantec Certificate Intelligence Center (CIC) for Mobile,
an extension of Symantec Certificate Intelligence Center,
provides additional capabilities to solving the challenges
of managing SSL certificates across large and complex
networks. With CIC for Mobile, IT managers and stakeholders
can easily monitor and manage their SSL certificate
inventory anytime, anywhere. Detailed and real-time
intelligence into SSL certificate usage on their network
environment helps administrators maintain business
continuity and strengthen network security. CIC for Mobile
will be available on the iPad by the end of May 2012.
Symantec Code Signing for Android
Now available to both individual developers and larger
organizations, Symantec Code Signing for Android provides a
tool for developers to digitally sign their .APK files for
the Android platform. In addition to signing applications
for the popular mobile platform, this cloud-based service
allows developers to securely manage their certificate keys
and store their signed applications, all from a single
intuitive cloud-based console. Symantec Code Signing for
Android also has the first ever dedicated Android Root
certificate from a security vendor.
"The growing use of mobile devices for personal and
business use has increased the challenge for organizations
and individuals to gain a comfortable level of control,"
said Stephen Drake, Program Vice President, IDC Mobility &
Telecom. "As the number of mobile devices continues to rise
and demands on IT continue to increase, the need for
organizations to secure and manage these devices and the
information on them is significantly elevated."
In addition to the new mobile enhancements, Symantec
announced it has joined the Microsoft System Center
Alliance (SCA), a partner ecosystem that helps facilitate
integrated solutions. As a part of SCA, Symantec will work
with Microsoft to develop and promote its offerings,
including Symantec Mobile Management, that support the full
System Center product family.
