Verizon Wireless Intros Trust Digital Enterprise Device Security TMCnet Contributing Editor Verizon (News - Alert) Wireless has introduced Trust Digital Enterprise Device Security, a new service for business customers that enables them to protect their data if they were to ever lose their smartphone.
According to the mobile operator, its new service is great for enterprise customers in healthcare, government and financial sectors — for whom data security is a top priority. The service is easy to install and it's said to provide an "end point" security for smartphones while complying with enterprise security policies.
Trust Digital Enterprise Device Security also features three pre-packaged templates for basic, medium and high security settings; device support on all MS Mobile and Palm PDA/Smartphones sold by Verizon Wireless; provisioning portal for software, policy distribution and software updates; automated security and device provisioning with over-the-air policy updates for "real-time," policy enforcement and optional professional services available directly from Trust Digital to develop a customized security policy.
The application can be distributed to employees by the customer's IT Administrator over-the-air and manage the purchased security licenses via the enterprise console.
"We take customer privacy seriously and have found that many of our business customers require additional data security above and beyond simple password protection," commented Lee Daniels, director of business solutions at Verizon Wireless in a statement. "Trust Digital provides a great solution for our business customers looking to step up to the next level of security beyond our basic offering. Verizon Wireless partnered with Trust Digital to develop an integrated service now being packaged and sold nationwide by the Verizon Wireless business sales teams. Enterprises can utilize this security solution in addition to the network security already in place with Verizon Wireless."
Today's announcement comes on the heels of Verizon Wireless' news about the expansion of its wireless network, dubbed the Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) third generation (3G
 ) wide-area network, to the Green Bay and Fox Cities area in Wisconsin (specifically in Oshkosh, Sheboygan and Fond du Lac). The mobile operator is also offering coverage in the greater Milwaukee and Madison areas.This latest network expansion will allow Verizon Wireless subscribers to access the following two services: BroadbandAccess, the company's high-speed wireless service, with reported average user speeds of 400-700 kilobits per second; and V CAST, a multimedia service that offers music and short content on demand, including 3D games, music videos, news, weather and sports.
