ATLANTA, Feb. 21, 2012 — Seccuris Inc., a leading provider of Information Assurance, Enterprise Risk Management, and Managed Security Services for North American organizations, has been chosen to become the secure mobile hosting, management and distribution organization in Canada for MobileActiveDefense, the Smartphone Security Company.
Under the terms of the agreement, MobileActiveDefense (2011 Innovator-of-the-Year in Mobile Device Protection, SC Magazine) will provide Seccuris with their award-winning enterprise-grade smartphone security technology, the Mobile Enterprise Compliance and Security (MECS) Server.
Michael Legary, Seccuris Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, said, "We're very excited to partner with MobileActiveDefense in order to provide our clients a set of world-class solutions for the mobile security challenges they face every day. MobileActiveDefense allows us to provide our clients customized enterprise-grade security for their iPhones, iPads, Android and other smartphone and tablet devices capable of meeting their specific mobile workforce business and security requirements."
Harold Hermann, Director of Sales and Marketing at Seccuris, added, "When it comes to Managed Security Services, we have federally approved secure facilities. With MECS technology and our managed-threat-monitoring services, we have a solution to help our customers not only monitor and protect their network from traditional external and internal threats, but also to more securely manage and eliminate breaches originating via smartphones and other mobile devices. Mobile data and device protection is at the top of everyone's 'worry list,' and with MobileActiveDefense we've got a technology solution to solve their problems."
The MECS Server extends existing enterprise and network security policies across iDevices, Androids, mobile platforms with device lock-down, always-on CA-based and enforced VPN encryption, granular policy driven firewall controls that automatically adjust based upon the physical location of the mobile device and a suite of content-filtering and device-management tools, anti-virus and malware eradication. The patent pending Application Access Control™ (AAC) detects known hostile apps and "apps behaving badly" on the device. In addition to the jail-breaking-detection and automatic-remediation-processes, the MECS server offers the most comprehensive mobile security available today.
"The MECS Servers and the MobileActiveDefense technology will typically be hosted and managed by Seccuris for small/medium enterprises who don't want to build out their own infrastructure. Many of our larger clients will want to host the MobileActiveDefense Servers on their own premises, and we will work with them to make it an optimal experience," Legary continued.
According to Winn Schwartau, Chairman of MobileActiveDefense: "Seccuris has an incredible reputation, and Michael Legary and I go way back. In my ideal world, I wanted a Canadian MSSP partner with the ability to meet and exceed the needs and expectations of both private and government sectors. The U.S. Government and our customers understand why MobileActiveDefense is such a unique and powerful tool that meets their mobile security and compliance needs today as well as in the future. We will be working very closely with Seccuris to make those same services and confidence levels available to Canadian customers."
MobileActiveDefense and Seccuris will be participating in the Mobile-Security-Pavilion (Booth 2247) at RSA2012 in San Francisco, CA from Feb. 27th – March 1st, 2012. The Mobile-Security-Pavilion will host a variety of disruptive technologies that are ahead of the curve, providing leading-edge solutions to problems and issues many companies have to address with panel presentations and live demos from real security companies offering real mobile security solutions proving that MDM is NOT security.
