Combined Solution Allows Mobile First Government Initiatives to Move Beyond BlackBerry
Mountain View, Calif., and Toronto, Feb. 20, 2013
MobileIron, the leader in security and management for mobile apps, documents, and devices, and Fixmo,
a leading provider of mobile security and data protection solutions,
today announced a partnership to provide federal government agencies
with the most fully featured and secure solution for their Mobile First
initiatives. By combining MobileIron's security and management platform
with Fixmo's federally compliant system integrity controls, government
agencies can confidently move beyond BlackBerry and give users the
ability to choose the devices that will make them most productive.
"Until now, federal agencies had very limited choices for mobility," said Bob Tinker ,
CEO, MobileIron. "They could use BlackBerry or third-party email
containers, but neither option made users happy. Our partnership with
Fixmo gives them an alternative that is far superior: the most
comprehensive Mobile IT platform combined with the deepest system
integrity controls to meet all federal requirements for Mobile First
initiatives."
The
partnership will allow government customers to use Fixmo Sentinel
Integrity Services with the MobileIron platform to enforce system
integrity by preventing OS tampering, policy violations, and unverified
third-party apps.
"Like
every other employer, government agencies want to enable their users to
use devices that make them most productive, and that means delivering
support for iOS and Android," said Rick Segal ,
CEO, Fixmo. "By working with MobileIron, we give our joint
public-sector customers the tools they need to improve user satisfaction
and the controls they need to ensure security and federal compliance.
This partnership removes all the barriers to expanding their mobile
deployments."
