As organisations try to handle the "bring your own device" trend, IBM launches Endpoint Manager for Mobile Devices-- a single solution handling security for mobile devices, as well as PCs and servers.
Endpoint Manager supports iOS, Android, Symbian, Windows Mobile and Windows Phone devices, using technology from 2010 acquisition BigFix. It can delete data on lost and stolen devices, as well as configure (and enforce) pass code policies, encryption, virtual private networks and non-compliant device identification.
IBM also has an acquisition to announce-- smartphone and tablet software development tool maker Worklight. IBM plans to use Worklight to continue improving on application security via Endpoint Manager.
