Have you ever lost your cell phone?

You're not alone — 8 million cell phones are expected to be lost or stolen in 2007 alone. Out of these 8 million cell phones, roughly 700,000 will be smart phones.

The inconvenience of losing your cell phone is bad enough. Now, what happens if the lost cell phone contains important personal contact data, internal corporate e-mails, or vital and confidential company data. The result is a data security breach waiting to happen.

With AlertBoot, however, protecting data on smart phones is just as easy as protecting data on your organization's workstations or laptops.

With AlertBoot, your organization can define the disk encryption and security policies for your mobile workforce's phones. Centrally-administered and highly customizable, AlertBoot data encryption ensures that confidential and personal data is always encrypted and protected.

AlertBoot Device Encryption for Smart Phones and PDAs not only prevents unauthorized access to sensitive data on Smart Phones but also can prevent the unauthorized use of a Smart Phone to actually make outgoing calls.

For Windows Mobile Smart Phones, AlertBoot offers an added layer of boot protection, where the device cannot be started without the user providing valid authentication credentials.

All data — including e-mails, attachments, contacts, calendars, and appointments — is fully encrypted on the device using the AES-256 encryption algorithm. As an added bonus, AlertBoot can also encrypt removable media cards that are plugged into the devices to offer persistent encryption across all smart phone media.

To access the device or data on the device, users authenticate with a password or pin. Policy controls such as limiting the number of password retries can be implemented for greater security. These controls, like all policy controls, are easily created, managed, and deployed via AlertBoot Central. The end result is a comprehensive and completely-centralized security platform for all devices in your organization — from laptops to smart phones.

Smart phones and PDAs play a very convenient role in the evolving business landscape. Compromising security for such convenience shouldn’t be a sacrifice your organization needs to make.

With AlertBoot, youll never need to make such a sacrifice.
