KOBIL makes security possible for mobile terminals(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 16 December 2011 Release date- 15122011 - Worms - The security specialist KOBIL with the new mIDentity App Security Tool (AST) is offering all App manufacturers worldwide the possibility to use tried-and-tested mIDentity security technology for their own App- technology and to protect it against the increasing threat by trojans and viruses. Unlike common security solutions for Apps, mIDentity AST is managed centrally and enhanced and checked by the server components. As a result, the mIDentity AST can check, for example, whether the App is started by the registered mobile device and has not been changed. Critical key material is also managed safely by mIDentity AST, which can be outsourced to external hardware such as mIDentity Air or mIDentity Air+ as required. KOBIL is the world's first manufacturer of IT-security solutions that transfers established security methods from the PC world to the mobile world. KOBIL not only does justice to its role of a trendsetter, but with mIDentity also fulfils the increased demands for security in the mobile world that have not been met until now. mIDentity AST provides the possibility to start well-known web browsers of the PC world in a hardened, secure mode from devices such as mIDentity mini, mIDentity Air and mIDentity Air+. KOBIL has thereby achieved a fusion of the global considerations for security and is the first manufacturer to offer uniform security solutions for the PC and mobile world. Thanks to the SSMS (Smart Security Management System) both worlds can be managed under a uniform administration. The well-know platform-independent support in the PC world by KOBIL technology is guaranteed in the mobile world, too. mIDentity supports Apple's iOS world as well as the Android world and can therefore be used by iPhone, iPad or Android smartphones and tablets.
