By
Telecom Lead Team: Mocana, a provider of smart device security, announced
upgrades to their Android security products in support of Android 4.0 “Ice
Cream Sandwich”. The new releases of Mocana’s VeloDAR Encryption
and VeloVPN Client products are the first mobile security products to
fully support the latest version of the Android OS.
VeloDAR
Encryption is the industry’s most advanced data-at-rest encryption solution for
Android, while VeloVPN Client is Android’s most comprehensive and
cross-compatible IPSec VPN client.
“The
Android hardware market is brutally competitive. These upgrades to our Velo
product line will help our customers differentiate their Android devices from
the competition. Today the cross-sector smart device ecosystem is a $900
billion market. These devices – as well as the applications, services and
information that run on them – need to be secured. Mocana’s built the only
cross-device platform to do that,” said Mocana VP of Market Development Kurt
Stammberger.
The
new Android 4.0 includes some built-in security features, but it doesn’t
include a flexible (any-to-any) VPN client or FIPS 140-2 level 1 certified
encryption. By using VeloDAR and VeloVPN, Android device manufacturers
can differentiate their offerings from the “pack” and position themselves
well for the enterprise and mission-critical markets.
VeloDAR
and VeloVPN can help manufacturers address security requirements. Mocana
VeloDAR Encryption protects sensitive enterprise data that resides on Android
smartphones and tablets, while Mocana VeloVPN Client secures the data
communication link from these mobile devices into enterprise networks.
Mocana’s
VeloDAR Encryption is the industry’s first FIPS 140-2 level 1 certified
data-at-rest (DAR) encryption solution for Ice Cream Sandwich.
Mocana’s
new VeloVPN Client is a complete virtual private network solution with a simple
GUI that allows OEMs to easily integrate VPN functionality into Android
devices.
Both
VeloDAR Encryption and VeloVPN Client are fully cross-platform, and work on all
versions of the Android OS and all CPU hardware platforms that Android
supports.
Recently,
LG Electronics and
Mocana announced a new product line aimed at protecting the Android ecosystem
from smartphone hackers and mobile malware. Mocana’s new VeloDAR
Encryption and the new Mocana VeloVPN Client will come pre-loaded on LG’s
Android smartphones.
