The Bank
of Finland, the Social Insurance Institution of Finland, all Finnish
Ministries, government agencies, funds and public-service companies are now
able to purchase Pointsec products according to the terms agreed by Pointsec
and Hansel. The
purpose of this agreement is to ensure the availability of high-quality
encryption products for the government, and that the purchasing volume of
government units is utilized efficiently. The agreement also aims to enhance
the manageability of operating costs. The
agreement between Pointsec and Hansel covers solutions used for protecting
desktops, laptops, PDAs and smartphones, e.g. Pointsec for PC, Pointsec for
Pocket PC, Pointsec for Palm OS, Pointsec for Symbian OS and Pointsec File
Encryption. These enforceable, easily managed and easy to use solutions
ensure that an organization's intellectual property is always secure. Pointsec for PC 4.3 recently became the first hard disk encryption solution to receive the international Common Criteria EAL4 certification. EAL4 is the highest level of certification given to commercial products. EAL4 certification is in many countries a prerequisite for the public sector and other agencies that need more robust tools to keep sensitive information secure. (ma) Pointsec
