Bluefire Success Story: Field Sales/Logistics

Situation

A large municipal government entity with thousands of employees overseeing infrastructure repair projects on the city’s electrical grid, waterworks and transportation system, wanted to ensure data residing on employee mobile devices, and being transmitted to those devices, was secure. In a post 9-11 world, the government agency was concerned about what unauthorized individuals or organizations might do with information about these critical infrastructure defects.

Vulnerability

The municipal government was concerned about vulnerabilities in two key areas:

• Unsecured and unprotected data on mobile devices
• Attacks on mobile devices designed to disrupt work or gain access to government networks

Solution

Bluefire Security Technologies recommended the following wireless device security solution:

• The Bluefire Mobile Security® Enterprise Edition, providing data encryption and a firewall

Results

The municipal government entity has deployed several thousand mobile devices secured with the Bluefire Mobile Security® Enterprise Edition, which has routinely protected the devices from probes coming across wireless Internet connections, and has kept encrypted data safe from unauthorized parties.
