Intermec Strengthens Device Security With CREDANT(R) Mobile Guardian S

DALLAS, Feb. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Intermec Technologies Corp. of Everett, Wash., which provides intelligent, mobile computing technologies to companies around the world, has selected CREDANT(R) Mobile Guardian mobile security software platform for its popular 700 Color series of rugged mobile computers. CREDANT is a member of Intermec's Independent Software Vendor (ISV) partner program.

CREDANT Mobile Guardian software adds a layer of physical security to Intermec 700 computers through advanced encryption methods and PIN/password controls, ensuring that the device itself and the data onboard are secure -- even if the device is stolen or lost. This additional level of data security helps companies meet regulatory and audit requirements and address privacy issues.

CREDANT Mobile Guardian provides strong authentication, securing content on the device against anyone without an authorized PIN or password. In addition, the software allows organizations to set up policies to control what information should be encrypted and what should happen to the data if the device is hacked. Port control keeps users from sending and receiving data over unsanctioned methods of communicating when outside of authorized network areas, where risk of exposure to data theft or viruses is elevated.

"The addition of CREDANT Mobile Guardian rounds out Intermec's extensive security offering by focusing on the physical security of devices," said Intermec Vice President Mike Colwell. "The software significantly limits the risk of device loss, theft or attack, and it helps our customers address one of the hottest topics in security today -- privacy issues."

"CREDANT's participation in Intermec's ISV program will prove beneficial for both of our companies," said CREDANT Technologies Vice President of Marketing Ian Gordon. "Intermec is strategic to our reseller program and the extra layer of protection our software provides to Intermec 700 Color devices means peace of mind for companies that deploy the devices and departments that are tasked with protecting them."
