MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- WidePoint
Corporation (NYSE Mkt: WYY) a leading provider of Managed Mobility
Services (MMS) specializing in Cybersecurity and Telecommunications
Lifecycle Management (TLM) solutions, and Kyocera Communications,
Inc. announced today that they have entered into a Strategic
Alliance.
Under terms of the agreement, Kyocera's portfolio of
industry-leading ruggedized mobile devices now will be offered as
part of WidePoint's Telecom Lifecycle Management solutions.
WidePoint customers will be able to order Kyocera devices directly
from their WidePoint online ordering portals.
In addition, the companies also are currently working to certify
interoperability of WidePoint's Certificate-on-Device security
solution sets with Kyocera's devices. In today's vulnerable
cyber-landscape, Certificate-on-Device authentication on Kyocera
devices will enable functionality such as establishing a secure
connection, leveraging attribute-based access control, and
providing the ability to revoke certificates from devices that are
lost or stolen.
Compromised communications, breached data, and hijacked networks
can damage any business, but the ability to rely on mobile
communications can be a matter of personal safety and national
security for first responders, military, and other government
users.
WidePoint chief technology officer Daniel E. Turissini said, "WidePoint has long
supported enterprises and our government's 25.3 million first
responders with needs related to identity and attribute management
in operational environments. We are very pleased to add Kyocera
devices to our portfolio and to collaborate on WidePoint
Cybersecurity Certificate-on-Device solutions."
