Orange Business Services launches Secure My Device worldwide
Paris, Nov. 20, 2008
security solution for mobile and remote devices provides IT managers easy, flexible
way to ensure the integrity of the networked PC
Orange Business Services today announced the worldwide launch of Secure My Device,
a modular security solution designed to address security issues faced when managing
mobile and remote PC devices: security management, supervision and control.
Secure My Device complements Business Everywhere
TM and Mobile Office from Orange Business Services. This is a custom made solution
that covers many security requirements, including:
-
central visibility – Central reporting and management provided by a global solution gives an IT manager end-to-end visibility of what security policies and rules end-users have on their PC.
-
easy and rapid roll out with low operational risk – Orange Business Services host the platforms in secure data centers, manage, maintain and support the core service infrastructure without a dedicated customer infrastructure.
-
flexible security & management solution – The consolidated compliance check and patch distribution with security policies can be adjusted per category or per use of devices. The security policies and rules range from mere compliance and patch to a full Network Access Control feature.
-
cost control – An adaptive pricing model allows for “pay-as-you-go” pricing in which customers only pay for the options chosen.
-
future proof – The solution helps mitigating for zero day attacks and is ready for today’s and tomorrow’s security challenges.
IDC analyst firm estimates that within three years one billion workers will be
classified as mobile – whether they are project teams working from client sites,
field engineers that never need to return to base or helpdesk staff taking calls
in their home study, most of them will use a corporate laptop. Security is perhaps
the number one priority when deploying mobile solution.
The Secure My Device offering integrates technologies from BigFix, Inc., an Emeryville,
California headquartered provider of high performance platforms for delivery of
managed services. Working closely with BigFix, Orange Business Service provides
a unique service architecture in order to design and deliver new security service
into the market quickly and effectively. By focusing on key security requirements,
Orange Business Service relieves IT managers from the core service infrastructure
burden and keep them focused on end-user devices security.
