Marble Security Issued Patent for Securely Managing Mobile Phones and Devices through a Cloud Service
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb 06, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) --
Marble Security today
announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has
issued U.S. Patent No. 8,356,105 entitled "Enterprise Device Policy
Management" to Marble Security. Filed in 2009 by Dave Jevans,
co-founder and CTO of Marble Security, the patent was issued on
January 15, 2013.
The patent provides a method for managing the policies and
security of portable devices that store data through a third
party cloud service. This important innovation allows
enterprises, financial institutions, healthcare providers and
government agencies to use a third party cloud service to manage
the security, encryption and policies of mobile devices without the
risk that the cloud service could compromise the devices. For
instance, the cloud services of other systems that do not use this
technology could be compromised by bugs, hackers, malicious
insiders and even hostile government intervention.
"Employees are bringing their own devices to work, and security
must be ensured. In the past, companies had to install costly
and complex Mobile Device Management (MDM) software in their data
centers to securely manage iPhones, iPads, Android devices and PC
and Mac laptops," says Jevans. "Marble Security's newly
issued patent allows a cloud service to
securely provide management capabilities to remote devices in
such a way that only an enterprise's administrators can unlock
them. It also ensures that the cloud provider cannot
introduce any risks to the device or the data, even if the cloud
service is compromised."
"Enterprise Device Policy Management" patent 8,356,105 defines
and provides a way to ensure that only the IT administrators of an
enterprise can access, modify or unlock a mobile device, even if
the service is compromised.
