Newberry Group Announces Partnership with AirPatrol
|
Newberry Group, Inc., a nationally-recognized IT services and security firm based in St. Charles, MO, with offices in Columbia, MD, is pleased to announce their partnership with AirPatrol, the first and only intelligent enterprise mobility solution that continuously monitors mobile devices and adapts their capabilities for the situation. Newberry will provide full lifecycle cyber security solutions and services around the AirPatrol product suite, in addition to training new implementers on its use. AirPatrol and Newberry Group’s complementary capabilities will mean A-Z solutions for clients with mobile device concerns.
Continuous monitoring of mobile devices, regardless of who the owner of the device might be, mitigates current mobile device security gaps such as loss of the device, unsecured wireless connections and direct cyber security attacks. This technology has major implications for cyber security across the spectrum including the healthcare industry’s desire to control patients’ personally identifiable information (PII), the Department of Defense’s concerns about espionage, the risks posed by mobile banking in the financial sector and more. This technology can hinder insiders from exfiltrating sensitive data as well as provide the necessary data protection on devices that may be the victim of theft.
“Our mobile devices are now extensions of ourselves; we take them everywhere. By being able to monitor and potentially disable aspects of that device, organizations can mitigate the risk of private data falling into the wrong hands,” said Phil Justice, Newberry Group Executive Director of Cyber Security. “The organization’s security policy can now be applied to everyone in the coverage area, from employees, visitors, vendors, and partners—both to their work devices to their personal devices.”
“AirPatrol’s mobile intelligence addresses the critical wireless component enterprises need for successful convergence of the physical and cyber security ecosystems,” said Tom Kellermann, CISM, AirPatrol’s Chief Technology Officer. “Further, precise location and context awareness through continuous monitoring of mobile devices empowers the mobile workforce and protects assets.”
