Market-Leading Solutions from CREDANT Technologies and Cranite Systems to Provide Comprehensive, Government-Certified Wireless Security Offering Publication date: Monday, 18 October 2004 Solution Seamlessly Integrates Wireless LAN and Device Security Software – Ensuring Maximum Data Protection Beyond the Network’s Edge Dallas, TX and San Jose, CA – October 18, 2004 – Organizations seeking to secure their wireless networks have a new comprehensive, government-certified wireless security solution available to them, thanks to an alliance announced today between CREDANT Technologies and Cranite Systems, Inc. CREDANT Technologies (www.credant.com) is the market leader in providing software that enables organizations to control security enterprise-wide for mobile workers and Cranite Systems, Inc. (www.cranite.com) is a leading provider of comprehensive security solutions for wireless local area networks (LANs). Well suited for government agencies, financial services and healthcare customers that need to meet demanding security and confidentiality compliance standards imposed by government regulations, the combined solution integrates market-leading technologies from both companies. CREDANT’s Mobile Guardian device security and management software, together with Cranite’s WirelessWall wireless LAN security software, provide end-to-end security that protects enterprise data accessed from the network, transmitted over wireless LANs and stored on mobile devices. The joint solution was selected by the U.S. Army Medical Command (MedCom). Wireless computing poses new security threats to the privacy of an organization’s information assets. Information that is accessed beyond the network’s edge is no longer protected by existing network infrastructures and is vulnerable to attack while being transmitted over wireless LANs and stored on mobile devices. Faced with internal compliance policies, as well as goverment regulations, such as Gramm-Leach Bliley, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and the California SB1386, organizations no longer can ignore the security risks created by mobile computing. To gain the full benefits of mobility, without taking excessive risks, organizations need to take a holistic view of security by protecting access to networked data, as well as protecting data during wireless transmissions and when stored locally on mobile devices. The Cranite-CREDANT solution protects enterprise data in mobile environments. With strong security for the endpoint from CREDANT, applications and sensitive data are protected when devices are lost or stolen. Supporting a broad spectrum of mobile operating systems and device types, the CREDANT solution enforces on-device security policies that control user and device access (including self-service password reset); encryption of files, folders, disks and/or removable media; and authorization policies that control where devices can synchronize, what applications can run on the device, as well as use of communication ports, external media cards, cameras and microphones. Cranite’s WirelessWall software controls access to wireless networks – with rock-solid Layer 2 protection and the Advanced Encryption Standard, all network traffic, including network addresses, are protected – guarding against attacks like man-in-the-middle, identity theft, or denial of service. In addition, Cranite’s Layer 2 protection allows users to securely pass from one wireless sub-net to another, without experiencing interruptions or having to re-authenticate or reboot their devices. “When businesses consider what it takes to secure networks today, they have to take a broad perspective, to include data in transit as well as data at rest. IT managers are coming to realize that the Internet is now an extension of their enterprise network,” said John Vigouroux, CEO, Cranite Systems, Inc. “And potential attackers are always going to be probing for the weak link – that’s why a joint solution like CREDANT and Cranite’s offering is so effective. Together we provide one of the most comprehensive security solutions available, ensuring that all the ‘links’ are as secure as possible.” “The combined CREDANT and Cranite offerings provide a level of wireless security that many of our government customers cannot live without,” said Bob Heard, president and CEO, CREDANT Technologies. “Combining our core technologies allows us to offer our joint customers who have a need to meet demanding standards imposed by government regulation, an unmatched, government-certified end-to-end security solution for the mobile enterprise.” he joint solution from Cranite Systems and CREDANT Technologies is available by contacting Cranite at or , or CREDANT at , or .
