AstraZeneca
chose Pointsec after extensive piloting and testing of the product as the
"best of breed" solution for automatic, data encryption and
enforceable mandatory access control for all multiple platforms and mobile
devices. The encryption, which is transparent to the user, assures normal,
uninhibited performance with no need for user intervention or user training.
Furthermore, Pointsec uniquely offers the convenience of centralised system
management, which allows the IT department to remotely install, upgrade or
provide password resets. AstraZeneca
spends over 11 million dollars every working day on research and development
providing innovative, effective medicines designed to fight disease in
important areas of medical need including cancer, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal,
infection, neuroscience and respiratory. Safeguarding their intellectual
property is therefore of utmost importance especially with an every
increasing mobile workforce. Peter Larsson, President, Pointsec Mobile Technologies said: "We are delighted to have AstaZeneca as a customer and to provide their employees with the highest level of security and flexibility, with the minimum of intervention. One of the key advantages of Pointsec is that the solution can be used on any mobile device, regardless of hardware platform." (ma) Pointsec
