- Gary Thayer, Editor

October 10, 2005 -- (MobileVillage) -- Utimaco Safeware AG has released version 4.0 of its SafeGuard mobile security software for enterprises with workers using Windows Mobile and Symbian-based smartphones and PDAs. Version 4.0 is the first to add support for Symbian.

SafeGuard PDA 4.0 authenticates users by password, symbol or number code. Forgotten passwords can be reset centrally via SafeGuard's emergency mechanism, ensuring that affected staffers can resume working as quickly as possible.

Other features include a secure screen saver, and support for quick telephone calling without additional logon.

Besides encrypting files and directories, SafeGuard PDA also can encrypt internal databases used in Personal Information Management (PIM) such as e-mails, SMS, tasks and events. Data is totally restricted unless the user has the correct authorization.

SafeGuard PDA's Microsoft Management Console enables IT managers to set up password guidelines and encryption and security rules for company PDAs
centrally, then implement them throughout the organisation.
