ARMONK, N.Y., May 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM
(NYSE: IBM) today announced that CRN, a brand of The
Channel Company, has named IBM to its 2017 Mobility 100 list,
ranking the company as as one of the top 30 Coolest Mobile Security
& Device Management Vendors. This list recognizes the
influential contributions of vendors bringing to market innovative
mobile products and services. Compiled by a panel of CRN editors,
the Mobility 100 list is divided into four categories: Mobile
Hardware, Mobile Security and Device Management, Mobile Software
and Services and Mobile App Development.
Mobile products and services are now virtually inextricable from
everyday business life. A company's success depends in no small
part on its ability to maintain a consistent yet fluid presence
across the wide range of portable devices and networks on which
consumers and businesses now rely. It's also crucial that companies
are able to properly secure these devices and networks, and to
protect the voluminous streams of data constantly flowing through
them.
"CRN's Mobility 100 is the definitive list of the key mobile
technology vendors currently in the IT ecosystem," said
Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel
Company. "It shines a light on the suppliers whose innovations
solution providers are building on to provide businesses with the
speed and agility they need to compete in today's world of moving
digital targets. We extend our sincerest congratulations to the
outstanding companies on this list and look forward to their future
innovation and success."
The IBM Cloud platform provides a complete environment to
develop apps designed specifically for mobile users. Interactions
can be personalized based on data, processed with added security
across touchpoints, and delivered in an elegant user
experience.
"Our mobile offerings provide our channel ecosystem and
customers with the tools and services they need, including APIs,
analytics and a portfolio of security solutions, in a single
destination so that they can quickly create compelling apps for
their clients," said Mary O'Brien,
Vice President of Development, IBM Security. "It is an honor to be
recognized for our work in the mobile space, and we look forward to
continuing to help our partners build innovative, secure mobile
solutions that stand out in the marketplace."
IBM was recognized by CRN for its mobile security offerings,
including MaaS360 for mobile device management, Security Access
Manager for enforcement of access policies, AppScan for detecting
vulnerabilities in mobile apps and Trusteer Mobile for secure
access to banking websites.
