ATLANTA, Nov. 30, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- M.A.D. Partners,
LLC, The Smartphone Security Company, today announced an agreement
with SRA International, Inc. (NYSE: SRX), a leading provider of
technology and strategic consulting services and solutions to
government organizations and commercial clients. Under the
agreement, SRA will be able to offer Federal customers a range of
services to protect and secure iPhones/iPads.
M.A.D's Mobile Enterprise Compliance and Security Server (MECS)
locks down iPhones and iPads, as well as multiple platforms of
smartphone and tablet devices, enabling security personnel to
effectively manage and secure their mobile population. Through this
partnership, SRA will host its own MECS servers to provide iPhone,
iPad and Android operating system security for Federal customers.
SRA also will offer a range of mobile security services, including
hosting, migration, integration and training.
Winn Schwartau, Chairman of M.A.D
Partners states, "SRA's extensive experience in IT and integration
in the Federal space is an ideal match with M.A.D., and an
important alliance for us and for the government. It's exactly what
agencies and departments have been asking for and now is available
through SRA - a company they know and trust."
"iPhone and iPad-like mobile devices are offering tremendous
operational utility to our clients across both commercial and
government organizations," said SRA Senior Vice President of
Offerings & Products Pat Burke.
"As a result, Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and Chief
Information Security Officers (CISOs) are facing a growing demand
from their senior executives to safely integrate these mobile
devices into their enterprise IT infrastructures without
compromising their enterprise security. SRA's partnership
with M.A.D. allows us to address this strategic priority while
ensuring we continue to enhance our clients' security, privacy and
compliance posture."
The SRA-hosted MECS servers extend existing enterprise and
network security policies across mobile platforms with complete
enforced encryption, certificates of authority, granular policy
driven firewall controls, a suite of content filtering and
device management tools, anti-virus and malware eradication,
including jail breaking detection and remediation. The security
profile of every secured device is automatically updated more than
100 times every day, keeping mobile networks secure, compliant and
protected from breach and data leaks. M.A.D. employs Zero Footprint
Security, uses no resources on the mobile device itself and the
user sees no change in his experience.
As Rob Smith, CTO of M.A.D.
Partners, LLC has said, "I am personally delighted that we will be
working with SRA. As the use of smartphones and tablet
devices continues to grow across all government sectors, so have
the security risks increased exponentially! Our partnership
helps align our shared vision of a safe and secure mobile
computing experience for everyone, without limiting them to only
one approved device."
