New security threats introduced by mobility and wireless access to corporate networks are quickly eroding the security boundaries of the enterprise. Once enterprise data is accessed by a mobile user, it is outside the control of the secured networked perimeter and is vulnerable to being intercepted over-the-air or when stored on mobile devices. As the number of wireless devices brought into the workplace increases, so does an organization’s risk of legal liability, financial loss and brand damage. Gartner[1] predicts that by the year 2007, there will be nearly 120,000 WLAN “hot spot” gateways worldwide, providing access to private and public networks for over 200 million mobile devices[2] used in business. Gartner[3] also predicts that more than 60% of Global 2000 companies will have mobile access to corporate applications and that 90% of mobile devices[4] that contain enterprise data will have insufficient protection.

Managing mobility is a critical component of network security and requires that mobile enterprises extend, manage and enforce security policies to include mobile and wireless end points and the wired and wireless connectivity options in between. CREDANT Technologies provides mobile end point and over-the-air security solutions designed to protect corporate data beyond the secured network perimeter and stored locally on mobile devices.
