UK mobile security outfit Nine23 is partnering with US SyncDog to let mobile workforces to access cloud-based collaboration tools from their own devices with a higher level of security.
The pair are peddling FLEXContainer which combines Office 365 email client, calendar, contacts, Dropbox, SharePoint with an architecture that securely protects the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) end users through FIPS 140-2, AES 256-bit encryption.
The platform can be deployed over Nine23’s UK accredited private cloud Platform FLEX, on-premises or a mix of both, depending on the security requirements of the business.
Nine23 CEO Stuart McKean said: “Overly-restricted mobile security policies have forced many employees into a situation where they need to carry two phones – one for work, one for personal use. Traditional enterprise mobility management (EMM) solutions do little to help as they focus on the device rather than the data, making them vulnerable to malware and other threats.
Brian Egenrieder, SyncDog Chief Revenue Officer said: “Nine23’s focus on secure mobile technology for regulated workplaces is an ideal complement for SyncDog. We help expand their offering to include the ability to isolate and encrypt email as well as other sensitive data and files, on all devices – even un-managed personal phones and tablets. We are looking forward to working with Nine23 to provide mobile solutions to the global marketplace that are more accessible for end-users, while providing increased security and greater cost savings for the enterprise.”
