New security solution 'MobileTrust' announced for Android, Apple devices

StrikeForce Technologies announced MobileTrust, a security solution for enterprise and consumer mobile users today. In an official statement, the company observes that the mobile device has become the target for the hacker looking to attack the corporate network, “therefore, protecting these mobile devices is critical for the enter enterprise”.

MobileTrust provides Apple and Android users with important security features to protect user credentials, passwords, online transactions and access to corporate networks. MobileTrust comes with a password vault, strong password generator, OATH compliant soft tokens, an encrypted database, and the keystroke encryption technology for the mobile marketplace.

New security solution for Apple and Android devices

Keystroke Encryption encrypts all data typed into the on-screen keyboard, whereby user credentials and online transactions are protected from mobile keylogging malware. The Password vault stores all passwords for internal networks, and external cloud services in an encrypted database, enables corporate users to securely login to any website or VPN directly from within the MobileTrust application.

A strong password generator allows users to create and store hard-to-crack passwords. It provides two-factor authentication for login access to internal or external sites that comply with the OAuth standard. This eliminates the need of using expensive physical token solutions.

The CryptoColor visual verification feature highlights browser text fields showing the user that their data is being encrypted. Using the enterprise version of the software, employees can store notes and other proprietary data securely in the encrypted database. 

“Keyloggers have been one of the biggest unresolved security problems in the desktop world, and already they have infested the mobile marketplace,” says George Waller, EVP of StrikeForce. “The ‘same ole’ solutions that are failing the desktop world just don’t work for the mobile device, which is why we created the MobileTrust security bundle. It includes six of the most powerful must-have security features that every enterprise mobile user or consumer needs to be secure, including mitigating the threat of keyloggers.”

StrikeForce is launching and showing the new technology for the first time at MobileCON 2012 being held in San Diego, California from October 9 to 11, and the SC Congress New York on October 11. MobileTrust will be available for Apple and Android markets in the fourth quarter of this year. The pricing is $14.95 for a single-user annual subscription. Quantity discounts apply for the enterprise version of the software.
