DeviceLock released support for Apple and BlackBerry handsets
Endpoint data security firm DeviceLock has released a new version of its software for protecting local synchronisations, adding support for Apple and BlackBerry handsets. DeviceLock 6.4.1 can be used to add a security layer to handset synchronisations, including the ability to recognise when a device is connected or being accessed. The new iPhone and BlackBerry protection is highly granular and enterprises can use the system to create and enforce permissions for particular users down to a finite level. Oganesyan explained that an “all-or-nothing approach”, when all smartphones are either allowed or prohibited to synchronise locally with a particular computer, is too risky. Typical uses would include the ability to block the synchronisation of files, emails, email attachments and accounts, contacts, tasks, notes, calendar items and bookmarks, while other security features block the use of malware such as key loggers. DeviceLock also covers Windows Mobile and Palm handsets.
