MobileTrax Honors CREDANT Technologies with 2005 Mobility Award

DALLAS – Jan. 19, 2005 – CREDANT Technologies ®, the market leader in providing software that enables organizations to control security enterprise-wide for mobile workers, today announced that its products, CREDANT Mobile Guardian Enterprise Edition and Group Edition, were awarded best in class in the mobile security category of the MobileTrax 2005 Mobility Award program. MobileTrax is a globally recognized professional services firm that focuses on the mobile computing and wireless data communications markets.

“CREDANT understands that the protection of mobile data is a necessity and not a luxury any longer. Increased security measures attributed to legislation such as Gramm-Leach-Bliley, Sarbanes Oxley and other regulatory requirements are forcing organizations to proactively secure all computing devices used by their employees, including mobile phones, PDAs and laptops,” said Bob Heard, president and CEO, CREDANT Technologies. “We are honored to be recognized by MobileTrax for our continued innovation and leadership within the mobile security market. Without the security provided by our solutions, it is virtually impossible for organizations to cost-effectively resolve the security risks associated with each of these devices. Furthermore, it is virtually impossible for an organization to ensure compliance with organizational security policies and government mandates – and the consequences can be catastrophic.”

CREDANT helps organizations mitigate the risk of security vulnerabilities associated with mobile computing by providing IT, business units and small/medium sized businesses with the security products needed to detect, protect and manage mobile devices.

CREDANT Mobile Guardian Enterprise Edition , generally available since 2002, is for companies who require an enterprise, centralized solution that integrates with their existing IT infrastructure. Organizations that can benefit from CREDANT Mobile Guardian Enterprise Edition include those that have a large population of business professionals using mobile devices today and a need to enforce security to ensure compliance.

CREDANT Mobile Guardian Group Edition , generally available since May 2004, is for small to mid-size organizations and groups of users within an enterprise that is rolling out mobile applications to high-risk users. Organizations that can benefit from CREDANT Mobile Guardian Group Edition include those with limited IT resources and a need to minimize risk while adhering to regulatory mandates.

Each year, MobileTrax honors the best and finest mobile computing and wireless data communications products and services. 2005 Mobility Awards were presented to winners in the following categories: accessories; components; handhelds; notebooks; security; software; storage; wireless data, LANs and WANs; and product of the year.
