Good steps up mobile security push with Fixmo acquisition, new tools

▤ Summary

BlackBerrys competitors see the companys struggles as a chance to steal customers, but convincing CIOs to switch isnt always easy. Sentinel lets IT organizations monitor mobile devices to ensure that only trusted and approved applications are running on them. It can detect jailbroken or rooted operating systems, unsafe Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connections, tampering with MDM policy files and device configurations before they result in a security breach, according to Fixmo. Good isnt just relying on acquisitions to improve security: In-house developments and third party collaborations are equally important. The app has integrated mobile presence, pulling in current status information from it own Connect platform or Microsofts Lync.
