Why do I need Bluefire?
Much like the rapid adoption of laptops, wireless devices are becoming more common vehicles for enterprise data delivery, making them more popular targets for attack. According to a recent survey by Bluefire, smartphone users are highly concerned about the security and integrity of enterprise data and information when remotely connecting to the corporate network (90% of total respondents), accessing corporate and personal email (84%), and surfing the web (67%). If organizations ignore smartphones, they are creating a backdoor to the enterprise that can be easily accessed from mobile devices and the Internet. The Bluefire Mobile Security® Enterprise Edition is designed to close the gap in enterprises’ mobile security created by unsecured wireless devices and to prevent unauthorized enterprise access using devices as a backdoor. Bluefire protects wireless devices, data, and networks and minimizes organizational exposure to vulnerabilities entering via a handheld.
