Vendors collaborate on securing mobile devices

Adding those new mobile devices and providing greater wireless access to data is the easy part for tech organizations. The hard part comes in securing both access to the device and to networks and data. A collaborative effort by McAfee, maker of intrusion detection and security risk management software, and email services provider Good Technology could make the job a whole lot easier. The two vendors have partnered up to provide McAfee's virus scanning application to wireless phones via Good's services. That means IT managers can ensure that virus protection can be managed remotely without having the devices brought in for security checks. The vendors say it's all about treating mobile network access just like today's desktop landscape. Article
