Thanks to the PDA, true business mobility has finally become a reality. For many areas, a whole new world of opportunities is opening up?and a whole new world of risks. The very fact that PDAs are so portable means they are easily lost or stolen, along with the confidential data saved on them. In addition, Plug and Play functionality and wireless connection capabilities make them a serious threat to the security of company networks. Current PDAs are not equipped to combat these risks, so comprehensive protective measures are imperative. SafeGuard PDA provides the protection that is needed and keeps the mobile workforce secure. The strong encryption keeps data confidential?even in transit over the Internet. Innovative authentication mechanisms, such as biometric signature recognition and symbol PIN, offer optimal user convenience and peace of mind for business managers and IT staff. Transparent background operation means users don't need training or any new work routines. And easy central implementation and enforcement of the company security policy keep the environment consistently protected. User convenience is critical in any authentication solution. SafeGuard PDA meets this requirement and is the optimal choice for companies that must enforce a PDA security policy via central administration along with efficient recovery functions. Together with our SafeGuard Easy, PrivateCrypto, and PrivateDisk products, SafeGuard PDA builds a perfect security solution for the complete IT infrastructure, including servers, PCs, and mobile devices.
