MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- WidePoint
Corporation (NYSE Mkt: WYY), a leading provider of Managed
Mobility Services (MMS) specializing in Cybersecurity and
Telecommunications Lifecycle Management (TLM) solutions, announced
today its collaboration with SPYRUS, Inc., to deliver the
industry's first Trusted Mobile device that guarantees device
identity, personal identity and secure network access from any
global location.
The comprehensive solution pairs WidePoint digital certificates
and SPYRUS WorkSafe and WorkSafe Pro live drives to bring "one
drive" capabilities to the telecommuting, desktop, and remote
worker in high assurance environments, particularly with the
hardware encrypted WorkSafe Pro series of drives.
"This integrated solution addresses a marketplace that is
estimated over the next three to four years to be worth upwards of
hundreds of millions of dollars annually," said John Atkinson, WidePoint's Chief Sales and
Marketing Officer. "The solution clearly brings to this
marketplace a secure and differentiated mobile solution that
augments and offers up yet another option to 'bring your own
device' (BYOD) by providing the convenience and security to 'use
your own device' (UYOD) for a growing mobile workforce."
WidePoint manages the identity credentials on SPYRUS WorkSafe
and WorkSafe Pro drives while tracking the usage from any remote
location. Adding Microsoft Windows 8.1 To Go to the solution
gives a new dimension to an organizations migration of transforming
existing personal computers inventory into compliant
enterprise-managed Windows desktops—with or without
connectivity.
"SPYRUS certified Windows To Go live drives with FIPS 140-2
Level 3 security services, combined with WidePoint digital
certificates authorized by the U.S. Government, creates the most
secure PC-In-Your-Pocket solution to solve BYOD concerns for the
enterprise," said Tom Dickens,
SPYRUS COO. "This all-in-one solution provides strong two-factor
authentication services for deployed Windows 7 desktop
infrastructures, cloud-based services, or when enterprise users are
on travel. There is a significant ROI for the enterprise, with more
than 75 percent savings when compared to purchasing new laptops or
tablets for employees or contractors."
WidePoint Certificate-on-Device digital certificates are being
used to provide hardware based trust from the factory,
authentication for WorkSafe or WorkSafe Pro drives and for the
owner's identity, enabling features such as two-factor
authentication, smart card logon, secure VPN, encrypted email,
digital signatures, and remote revocation of certificates on lost
or stolen drives.
"The combination of WorkSafe drives and Medium Hardware
certificates revolutionizes mobility," said Daniel E. Turissini, WidePoint CTO. "WidePoint
digital certificates provide not only better security but more
convenience for users. The WorkSafe drive's embedded FIPS 140-2
Level 3 encryption plus WidePoint digital certificates provides the
high-assurance security needed for employees traveling with their
entire PC—and the data and access that comes with it—on a SSD drive
in their pockets."
