RedCannon Security Named Cool Vendor by Leading Analyst Firm
Fremont, Calif. – April 2, 2007 –
RedCannon Security, a trusted provider of centrally-managed, secure mobile-access solutions for the enterprise, today announced that it has been included in the list of Cool Vendors in the Cool Vendors in Secure Business Enablement, 2007 report by Gartner, Inc.
CFOs and CISOs recognize that mobile data protection is one of their fastest-growing compliance challenges. Gartner’ss Cool Vendors in secure business enablement for 2007 are responding to evolving security threats and growing regulatory compliance demands with innovative yet realistic solutions.
Enterprises worldwide are struggling with the problems of mobile access control and data leakage, and they need protection methods for removable media, said John Girard, vice president and distinguished analyst covering security and privacy at Gartner in the report. A series of highly publicized reports of data loss from mobile devices — and the material damage they have caused, in terms of both legal liability and adverse publicity — have focused intense attention on mobile data protection.
RedCannon helps organizations centrally manage and control mobile devices, and improve efficiency and security for mobile workers. KeyPoint Alchemy enables trusted remote access to corporate networks even from public or unknown computers, prevents data leakage, protects against external threats and ensures a consistent experience regardless of the computer used. KeyPoint Alchemy creates a comprehensive security and content management environment for removable data, including self-service user provisioning, logging of user data access, encrypted data distribution and backup, malware scans, policy-based application controls, data access expiration and compliance reports. The solution also enables applications, authentication tokens, security policies and content updates to be automatically pushed out to the managed devices.
We are honored to be listed as a ‘Cool Vendor’ in the Gartner Report because we believe it further validates our unique position in helping organizations manage and control USB devices and protect the sensitive and private data that may be stored on them, said Vimal Vaidya, founder and chief executive officer at RedCannon. KeyPoint Alchemy allows organizations to transform all off-the-shelf USB flash drives into enterprise-managed and compliant devices enabling IT departments to extend security policies beyond the network perimeter.
