Digital security firm ESET has released an enterprise version of its Mobile Security mobile software. Mobile Security Business Edition for Windows Mobile and Symbian shares the same functionality of its ESET Mobile Security suite, and adds the ability to remotely manage the devices though ESET Remote Administrator 4. 

“Protection of mobile devices is increasingly important for both consumers and businesses alike,” says Peter Vrana, ESETs senior product manager for business security. “There are many rogue applications out there, some of them even include spyware targeting businesses. Our ultimate goal is to protect our customers from both privacy invasion and costly data losses. ESET Mobile Security Business Edition delivers on that objective.” 

Aside from remote management, other key features of the Mobile Security Business Edition include the ability to remote wipe devices in the event of a theft, and the ability to define a list of trusted SIM cards and receive notification of an unauthorized SIM inserted into a compromised device.

The software can also run a diagnostics scan of all the phones vital functions, deploy SMS and MMS anti-spam filters, and install a rule-based Firewall filter.
