Mobolize
announced it is collaborating with Google Cloud to enable zero trust
security access for enterprise mobile apps from managed and unmanaged
mobile devices. Mobolize's patented, on-device Data Management Engine
will integrate with Google's BeyondCorp Enterprise to provide simple,
safe and secure access to enterprise mobile apps. This integration also
will leverage built-in data and threat protection from the browser,
offered with BeyondCorp Enterprise.
Mobolize
is an on-device data traffic expert that enables service and technology
providers to deliver their security and connectivity solutions to
mobile devices. The company developed its Data Management Engine to use a
common code for all endpoint operating systems. As a result, it is
quick to deploy and ensures continuity of partners' solutions across
endpoints. This includes Android, Chrome, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux
operating systems running on phones, tablets and laptops.
The
Data Management Engine intelligently manages data traffic with a
SmartVPN and performs configurable routing and other unique features as
defined by a partner's requirements. As part of the collaboration with
Google Cloud, Mobolize's Data Management Engine will enable precision
routing of data traffic to BeyondCorp Enterprise, Google's zero trust
access platform which allows enterprises to enable employees to work
from anywhere and securely access applications in the cloud or
on-premises.
According to Gartner, a technology research company, the security parameter has extended to mobile devices. In Gartner's "Zero Trust Architecture and Solutions"
report, "In the era of cloud computing and big data, the network
security perimeter is gradually disintegrating, and internal and
external threats are intensifying, leading to a failure of the
traditional perimeter-based security architecture, therefore the zero
trust security architecture comes into being."
"Google
Cloud recognized that delivering a high-performance zero trust security
solution to the wide range of mobile devices used by employees today is
a complex job that requires deep mobile expertise," said Philip
Mustain, Mobolize CEO. "With more than a decade of focusing on computer
and mobile technology, Mobolize is well positioned to enable zero trust
security from mobile devices for Google Cloud."
"Google
Cloud understands that a hybrid workplace is here to stay and enabling
zero trust access regardless of location and device is an imperative for
all enterprises," said Tim Knudsen, Director of Zero Trust Products at
Google Cloud. "Integrating with Mobolize's Data Management Engine will
make this easy and enable us to give the enterprise flexible, seamlessly
integrated access options depending on the application use case."
"Our
collaboration with Google Cloud emphasizes their recognition of
Mobolize's technology as a key to bringing zero trust security to mobile
endpoints," said Colleen LeCount, Mobolize Chief Revenue Officer. "Our
advantage of an on-device Data Management Engine with a common code base
across all mobile endpoints drove Google to select Mobolize as a
technology partner for critical mobile use cases."
