Birdstep launches complete mobile data security solution at Mobile World Congress 2013
February 2013 by Marc Jacob
Birdstep Technology announced today the launch of SafeMove Portable Security, a secure, special-purpose Linux desktop environment for organisations with high security needs.
SafeMove Portable Security is a hardened Linux desktop bootable from a USB memory stick. The solution integrates Birdstep’s high-class SafeMove Mobile VPN to provide instant, zero-click network connectivity and IPsec security with strong data leak prevention guarantees.
Unique Security Solution
SafeMove Portable Security solution can be deployed for several specific use cases, including:
To handle information from multiple data classification levels within the same equipment, e.g. workstation installation classified to one level and SafeMove Portable Security desktop to another
To rapidly deliver and secure highly sensitive information required during states of emergency, such as a pandemic or wide-spread epidemic
To enable cross-agency remote access, e.g. one government agency provides limited access to personnel from another agency while enforcing established security policies (Virtual Government Furbished Equipment)
SafeMove Portable Security comes as a fully secure end-node bootable from the USB. It is secured with hardware encryption, in ruggedized casing and PIN entry on the device. It is also waterproof and dustproof. Running under the open source Linux operating system, it is powered by SafeMove Mobile VPN (IPsec + Mobile IP) and utilizes the best available network at a given time (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, cellular data, or satellite).
