The Security division of Bell Micro has signed a UK
exclusive vendor partnership agreement with Virtuity to support
sales of the BackStopp
mobile computing software and service.
The result, says Bell, will be to deliver a new level of
security for ‘at risk’ data on
mobile devices. When a BackStopp protected device is reported
lost or stolen by the owner, Virtuity is said to be able to locate
the device and then delete all sensitive data on the device in 180
seconds.
Once the
mobile computing security protocols have been activated,
BackStopp generates a report of any data accessed, confirms the
data it has deleted and then sends the report to the Virtuity
hosting centre. The service will then render the laptop’s operating
system completely useless. If a webcam is available on the host
device it will send a command to photograph the unauthorised
user.
“If the national press taught us just one thing last year, it
would be the importance of securing data on the move,” commented
Steve Browell, General Manager, Security Division at Bell Micro.
“Protecting data and bringing in encryption for data at rest and in
transit, whether on PDA or especially on laptops is a driving need
in modern business.”
BackStopp is designed to complement firms’ anti-virus, personal
firewall, encryption and remote access solutions. Offered as a 24/7
‘cloud service’ BackStopp, says Bell, opens doors to ongoing
support and customer engagement arrangements.
