 securing the corporate pda
kkbass @ 5/3/2004 8:01:33 PM #

Novell has had a product out for years that manages & secures pda & data.

http://www.novell.com/products/zenworks/handhelds/index.html

It does palm of course, wince/ppc, rim, & they are expanding it to others.

No, it does not require a netware server (most novell products dont) http://www.novell.com/products/zenworks/handhelds/sysreqs.html

For those of you who might remember it, Zenworks for Handhelds started off life as Callisto Orbiter. Novell aquired Callisto in November 2001 or so.

After quite a bit of research we're now using AppLock from Pocket Science in Australia to secure Palm handhelds (OS 5 only currently) in our environment. Works great.

No affiliation, just a happy customer. We are however still looking for a similar OS 4 app.

 Not just in business world

This is happening in the education world too; people aren't taking data security seriously enough. A lot of high schools now store student data on handhelds, and many are simply asking that users enable the built-in password protection. I mean, unless they're using something like Principalm - http://www.principalm.com/ - that encrypts everything, then addresses, schedules, grades, attendance, etc. can be available to thieves in an unencrypted form. This is a serious issue.
