McAfee acquires Trust Digital

The rapid adoption of smartphones has changed how companies do business. Organisations need to deploy and enable secure access to mobile applications without impacting the productivity of users. With this acquisition, McAfee plan to bring industry-leading security and data protection to smartphones and tablets with security management and reporting - delivering the industry's first comprehensive mobile security solution.

With Trust Digital, McAfee can extend their leading endpoint security solutions to a wide range of mobile platforms. The integration of Trust Digital's robust mobile management solutions with McAfee's comprehensive security and management technologies will:

• Extend McAfee data protection, firewall and network access control to smartphones
• Deliver centralised security management and reporting for mobile devices, through the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) platform
• Enable McAfee security and management on a wide range of smartphone and mobile tablet platforms, including iPhone OS, Web OS, Windows Mobile, Android and Symbian
• Provide security and device management to consumers and businesses by leveraging McAfee's strong global partners
• Empower enterprises and governments to deploy, secure, and manage smartphone environments, while keeping mobile workforces productive

McAfee plan to integrate Trust Digital's policy and device management into the McAfee ePO platform to allow seamless enterprise mobility management and complete anti-malware protection - regardless of mobile device manufacturer. This will represent a significant opportunity for their partners to engage enterprises looking to expand and strengthen mobile deployments with an integrated, single vendor system security solution.
