FOXBORO, Mass. -- Utimaco:

--Utimaco and GSMK combine the SafeGuard PDA authentication and data encryption solution with the voice encryption software GSMK CryptoPhone

--Confidential phone calls and sensitive data rendered tap and access proof on smart phones and PDAs

Utimaco - The Data Security Company and GSMK, the mobile voice security company are launching the first PDA and smart phone security solution capable of simultaneously encrypting both voice and data. GSMK is integrating the data encryption and authentication software, SafeGuard PDA, together with the CryptoPhone Security Profile Manager directly into the PDA firmware. This will allow SafeGuard PDA to withstand a hard reset of the device. The integration guarantees companies, organizations and authorities that SafeGuard PDA will protect sensitive data stored on mobile devices without fear of misuse. It also ensures that confidential phone calls via a GSMK CryptoPhone are tap proof. This security solution combined with the optimized and secure Windows Mobile operating system is available immediately from GSMK.

Utimaco has announced the release of SafeGuard PDA Version 4.11. SafeGuard PDA Version 4.11 supports a Japanese user interface and is compatible with Asian devices. Enhanced blocking mechanisms now actively prevent the unauthorized use of memory cards or autorun as well as Bluetooth, infrared and WiFi network interfaces. These mechanisms ensure that data cannot be imported and exported through these channels without proper authentication and prevents malicious software from reaching the device. New policy settings help the user set country-specific emergency numbers and implement software updates. Proven features like the strong and transparent encryption of all PIM files, such as calendar entries, contacts or emails, guarantee the compatibility of SafeGuard PDA with push mail systems.

"Recent events have shown just how seriously organizations take the protection of their company data and telephone calls within a global competitive environment. In order to equip companies and authorities with the technological means to protect themselves against unauthorized data access and phone tapping on smart phones, we have joined forces with Utimaco. Together, we have launched the first security solution capable of fulfilling these growing security demands," says J. Rupp, Managing Director of GSMK.

"As the technological leader in mobile voice encryption, GSMK is the perfect partner for us to be able to offer our corporate and government customers not only data and access security but also tap proofing for their mobile devices," said Brendan Sullivan, VP North American Sales, Utimaco Safeware U.S.A. "With SafeGuard PDA 4.11, we are able to provide global organizations with the security of being able to communicate and work confidentially using their mobile devices around the globe."
