Symantec takes a step ahead to keep business data safe

Symantec has released a report on “Internet Security Threat” which highlights a 58-per cent increase in mobile threats targeting mobile devices, with almost a third designed to steal information. As per the report, users are mastering mobile devices on their own time and are using them as time-saving tools, creating increased demand on businesses to respond with appropriate policies and technologies to keep their data safe. Symantec has done new additions to its Mobile Management Suite to keep mobile business data safe.

Anand Naik, Managing Director – Sales, India and SAARC, Symantec, said, “To truly keep business data safe in today’s increasingly complex IT environment, companies need mobile device management (MDM) for some situations and mobile application management (MAM) for many others. Assuring the identity of the user is always important, and protecting data at rest and in motion is critical, but is not always easy when you don’t control the device or the communications channels, as with BYOD.”

In addition to Symantec’s recent integration of MDM and MAM into a single product and console, the company has added a new secure email client to address the highest use app for confidential data, single sign-on to simplify the user experience and SSL with URL whitelisting to protect data in motion. This new free secure email client may be easily configured and controlled through the Mobile Management Suite console.

With these enhancements, the Symantec Mobile Management Suite addresses a broader range of mobile productivity use cases, while also meeting the demands for business data protection and personal privacy.
