DALLAS, Texas – November 3, 2003 – CREDANT Technologies, a premiere provider of mobile security and management software, today announced that its product, CREDANT Mobile Guardian, is one of a select number of software products that has been tested and approved as an enterprise-grade Palm OSâ Business Solution. CREDANT Mobile Guardian is a software solution that enables organizations to control security for mobile and wireless users by protecting enterprise information when mobile devices are used to access the network, transmit or store company information. Launched earlier this year, the Palm OSâ Business Solutions Program is designed to reduce time-to-market, open new sales channels and raise product awareness for mobile business applications. Certification as a Palm OS Business Solution means that CREDANT Mobile Guardian is enterprise-ready.

Unlike desktop computers that are always connected to the network, mobile and wireless devices are occasionally-connected and must have office-strength security enforced at all times. If left uncontrolled mobile devices are open doors to corporate networks and expose enterprises to legal liability, financial loss and brand damage. Designed specifically for the mobile ecosystem including laptops, tablets, PDAs and smart phones, CREDANT Mobile Guardian’s policy-based security and management software platform minimizes risk while reducing administrative costs. Leveraging enterprise directory profiles, CREDANT Mobile Guardian enables organizations to cost-effectively detect, manage and secure thousands of mobile devices from a single interface—while ensuring ongoing compliance with corporate security policies and legislative mandates.

“The goal of the Palm OS Business Solutions Program is to provide PalmSource’s 275,000 strong developer community with the necessary tools and support to efficiently bring to market enterprise-ready Palm OS applications,” said Albert Chu, vice president of business development, PalmSource, Inc.

“Given the rapid adoption of mobile and wireless computing, the ability to establish a mobility ecosystem quickly is critical for many organizations. The Palm OSâ Business Solutions list will enable an organization to quickly identify enterprise-ready products that meet their requirements,” said Bob Heard, president and CEO, CREDANT Technologies. “CREDANT Mobile Guardian was designed as an enterprise solution from day one. Customers asked for a comprehensive, scalable solution and we delivered. We are proud of the compliance and recognition we have earned from PalmSource.”
