Echoworx and Avema Partner to Support Encryption on Mobile Devices

Echoworx (News - Alert), a provider of credential management and managed encryption services for complete hosted Exchange e-mail and data protection, has entered into a new reseller partnership with Avema (News - Alert) Corporation, a global provider of telecom and wireless cost optimization services.


As part of the agreement, Avema will be adding Echoworx' recently launched mobilEncrypt Endpoint solutions for mobile to its mobile device management (MDM) offerings.

Officials with Echoworx said that with mobilEncrypt ENDPOINT, iPhone (News - Alert), iPad and BlackBerry users can compose, send, download and receive secure, encrypted messages through their existing business e-mail account.

No additional components are required, since the application creates a native email experience.

"Mobile security has become a major focus as organizations try to secure the explosive growth of corporate information being accessed by mobile device users. To that end, e-mail encryption and credential management for mobile have presented significant challenges for IT managers. mobilEncrypt ENDPOINT is the only solution that works natively with devices to deliver easy-to-use encryption and credential management capabilities,” said Michael Ginsberg, chief executive officer for Echoworx, in a statement.

Ginsberg said that as a leader in providing MDM solution sets, Avema is the ideal partner for Echoworx as they are experts in creating offerings that close the mobile security “loopholes” plaguing IT managers today.

"The classic problem for customers is the segmentation in mobile device usage, which makes it difficult to come up with a single MDM system that fits all user needs,” said Roger Yang, chief executive officer for Avema Corporation.

Yang sees the Echoworx platform as a significant value-add for its customers

“Our role is to create MDM solutions that meet their business security needs through the integration of best of breed technology. That's exactly where Echoworx makes perfect sense, because its encryption application can be downloaded and activated without having to retrofit devices or go through complex setups; and organizations can easily restrict corporate access to authorized users only,” said Yang.

“It's good to know that with Echoworx, we are partnering with a future-thinking company," he added.
