Looking to address the growing need among enterprises to secure private and public cloud applications accessed using smartphones and tablets, Symplified has partnered with Solstice Consulting.
Creating a secure audit trail so that enterprises can safely make corporate data accessible on tablets and smartphones, Symplified secures cloud and web applications on any mobile device and provides single sign-on. This no software required solution can protect both company and employee owned devices.
Apart from offering vulnerability testing, and mobile data encryption, Solstice’s Mobile Security practice provides security architecture design for mobile web and native applications, integration services for IAM, application protection.
“Solstice Consulting is one of the leading boutique consulting firms in the mobile security arena with specialized expertise in identity and access management,” said Mike Corbisiero, vice president of Worldwide Sales for Symplified in a company press release. “Solstice will play an important role in assisting our joint customers with planning, implementation and sustainability services for cloud and mobile security solutions.”
Organizations are finding it extremely difficult to enforce security policies on applications accessed from employee-owned smartphones and tablets because of the consumerization of IT, and its offspring BYOD (Bring Your Own Device).
In addition, the lack of an audit trail creates a compliance blind spot for companies in regulated industries. Meanwhile, for every cloud application they need to perform their jobs, end users are required to remember and enter separate login credentials, the company stated in a press release.
Recently, the company announced that the Visiting Nurse Service of New York (VNSNY) has chosen Symplified for centralized cloud identity and access management for its 15,000 patients.
This application will allow VNSNY to provide secure ways for authorized users to get access to patient information through the “cloud,” a way of storing and retrieving data on the Internet. This application will allow VNSNY to provide secure ways for authorized users to get access to patient information.
