Pointsec Mobile Technologies, a global leader in mobile enterprise security, released Pointsec for Symbian S60 3rd Edition, a new version of its security solution, offering strong data protection and access control for business users with Nokia Eseries handsets based on the S60 platform. This is the first solution for protecting data stored on S60 devices using real-time encryption.
Using Pointsec’s solution, sensitive information is automatically encrypted and decrypted on the fly, with no user interaction required. This major version release of Pointsec for Symbian is Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) compliant, and comes with added support for the Intellisync Device Management solution from Nokia. In addition, Pointsec offers tools for centralized administration of encryption. Users who accidentally lock their devices can regain access by calling their helpdesk and completing the secure Remote Help challenge/response procedure with the Pointsec webRH product.
Pointsec for Symbian 3.0 S60 Edition provides protection for all kinds of information, including SMS and E-Mail messages, calendar, Microsoft Word or PowerPoint files, and data on removable media. The solution supports central management using Pointsec profiles. Pointsec profiles enable IT and security management to create, change, and apply the organization’s security policies on all mobile users.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
