Bluefire Mobile Security(R) VPN Deployed to Palm Employees Worldwide
BALTIMORE, Oct. 9 / / -- Bluefire, the leading provider of mobile and wireless security software, today announced that Palm, Inc. will begin deploying the Bluefire Mobile Security(R) VPN to over 1,000 employees this fall.
A leader in mobile computing, Palm tested multiple mobile VPN clients on the market before choosing to deploy Bluefire's VPN. Palm selected Bluefire's solution -- and made it a requirement company-wide -- due to multiple factors including:
o Integration with existing IPSec-standard infrastructure
o Support for the Windows Mobile and Palm operating systems
o Ease-of-use
o Unparalleled customer service and support
o Support for GPRS, EDGE, HSPDA, CDMA, EVDO and WiFi
Securing mobile data-in-transit is a priority for Palm because employees use their Palm(R) Treo(TM) smartphones to access the corporate network and resources as well as send and receive confidential emails. Bluefire's VPN ensures that this data-in-transit remains secure.
"After testing multiple VPNs on the market, we found that Bluefire's VPN was easy to use and the best solution for our needs," said Mike Allison, senior IT director at Palm, Inc. "Palm is confident that with Bluefire's VPN employees can remotely and securely access internal files."
"Bluefire is proud that a respected industry leader such as Palm named Bluefire as the VPN of choice," said Mark Komisky, Bluefire CEO. "With the rise of the Mobile Web 2.0, professionals are using their smartphones for more sophisticated applications like Salesforce.com and mobile banking, while often leaving their confidential data insecure. Palm is demonstrating their leadership by being proactive about securing their mobile data."
In deploying Bluefire's VPN, Palm joins other renowned Bluefire customers including Nestle Brazil, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the Visiting Nurse Association of Boston.
