Participation in MPAC Demonstrates Strength and Reliability of Bluefire Security’s Products
Baltimore, MD. April 29, 2004 — Bluefire Security today announced its participation in the Microsoft Mobility Partner Advisory Council (MPAC). Microsoft Corp. formed the council in an effort to bring the most innovative and successful solutions to market with like-minded companies investing heavily in mobility.
Bluefire Security’s flagship security product, Bluefire Mobile Firewall Plus, helps protect Windows Mobile-based mobile devices. While the computing power of mobile devices increases, security remains the primary barrier to the use of enterprise-class applications that empower mobile workers to stay productive while away from the office. With Bluefire Mobile Firewall Plus, enterprises have a solution to help safeguard critical data on their mobile devices.
"Our participation in MPAC will open the doors to a large community of software developers and technology integrators that are working together to broaden the adoption of mobility in the enterprise," said Mark Komisky, chief executive officer with Bluefire Security. "Together, we will be able to provide maximum utility and maximum security for the mobile workforce."
"The Mobility Partner Advisory Council was formed to bring companies developing leading mobile applications and services together into a larger community that shares a common goal of enabling mobility," said Julie Wymetalek, manager of the MPAC program at Microsoft. "Bluefire Security’s product was developed specifically for mobile devices and meets the unique requirements of the Windows Mobile-based device platform, making an important contribution in the area of security to Windows Mobile customers."
