Mobile Armor is Awarded the Highest FIPS 140-2 Validation for Security Software
Mobile Armor releases ground breaking cross platform validated Cryptographic Module for Data at Rest Encryption and Data Leakage Prevention
Mobile Armor, Inc., the leader in mobile data protection for the U.S. Government and recipient of the largest single award for Data at Rest Encryption, announces an update to its Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 validation. Mobile Armor’s Cryptographic Module v3.5 has been validated at FIPS 140-2 Level 2 through the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP).
The CMVP is a cooperative partnership between the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) of the Canadian government to ensure that sensitive information remains secure. The FIPS 140-2 validation assures that military, government agencies and commercial organizations are acquiring products that meet or exceed the stringent objectives set for securing confidential and sensitive data.
“Encryption of data on laptops, smartphones, USB keys and hard drives, where information is the most vulnerable, is essential to any organization’s data protection plan,” said Chand Vyas, Chairman and CEO at Mobile Armor. “Our Enterprise Mobile Data Security Platform continues to provide leading edge data security solutions for the Government, Healthcare, Financial Services, Education and any other type of organization or agency that handles sensitive data.”
This Mobile Armor release is a cross platform validated Cryptographic Module for Data at Rest Encryption and Data Leakage Prevention validated at Level 2 under the FIPS 140-2 certification. This specific validation is unique in its functionality of protecting cross platform clients and securing the Mobile Armor unified management platform, PolicyServer, with the same Level 2 module.
“The Mobile Armor Cryptographic Module v3.5 is a snap-in update to the existing Mobile Armor Data Protection Suite. With this modular ability, Mobile Armor is able to provide FIPS 140-2 Level 2 security across all of the Enterprise Mobile Data Security Platform,” Vyas added.
“Mobile Armor provides the highest level of cryptographic validations available in the Data at Rest protection market. Our comprehensive security management console is not only the most extensive in the market, supporting both hardware and software, but it also has the broadest support of client platforms including: Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Mobile, Linux, and Mac OS X. This new FIPS validation further reinforces Mobile Armor as the leading provider of mobile data protection,” said Mobile Armor CTO, Bryan Glancey.

Javacool Software Releases Free SpywareBlaster 4.2
Enhanced “Layered Defense” Spyware, Malware Prevention Software Now Supports More Browsers & With Faster Updating
Fans of Javacool Software LLC, take note: an upgraded version of the company’s popular SpywareBlaster(R) is now available for free downloads from the software company’s Web site (www.javacoolsoftware.com).
With over 50 million free downloads since the company’s launch in 2002, Javacool Software offers a range of free privacy and security software products used by home and small business computer owners worldwide, along with other services for enterprises and networks.
Unlike other subscription or free anti-spyware and anti-malware software, SpywareBlaster focuses on prevention. It protects against stealth downloading of spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers and other potentially unwanted software. And unlike other programs, the performance-friendly SpywareBlaster does not remain running in the background, avoiding drags on a PC’s operation.
SpywareBlaster coexists with other security software to provide a “layered defense” against multiple threats. It prevents the installation of ActiveX-based spyware and other dangerous programs, blocks spying and tracking via cookies, and restricts the actions of potentially threatening Web sites.
The new version 4.2 of SpywareBlaster features improved Windows 7 support, faster updating worldwide, support for the Internet Explorer 8 and K-Meleon browsers, interface improvements and numerous other enhancements.
PC World magazine recently named SpywareBlaster as one of its ‘8 Great Free Security Tools.’ Noted the report: “With this downloadable antispyware utility, you can make sure you don’t get infected in the first place rather than scanning for and killing spyware after it hits your machine. It works differently from most competitors by restricting the actions that potentially dangerous Web sites can perform when you visit them. It also protects against dangerous ActiveX controls, and keeps tracking cookies off your PC.”
Javacool Software offers a SpywareBlaster AutoUpdate service to download new versions when they become available, with automatic database updates, easy multi-user coverage and technical support.
