Earlier this year Silent Circle unveiled the world's first
enterprise privacy platform, a unique combination of devices,
software and services, based upon and built from a fundamentally
different mobile architecture – ZRTP. It included the announcement
of the next generation Blackphone, the company's privacy-first
smartphone.
In the
lead up to the launch of the next generation Blackphone, Silent
Circle will be announcing a series of innovations to its enterprise
privacy platform.
Vishal
Gupta, Chief Product and IoT Officer at Silent Circle
said:
"There are organizations that have been hacked and there are
those that don't know about it yet, which means that security in
the traditional sense has failed us. As we get closer to the launch
of the next generation Blackphone - which has been built to offer
enterprises privacy without compromise – we will be announcing new
innovations to our enterprise privacy platform to ensure our
customers are fully protected."
A
particular area of focus for the company has been enterprise
solutions that provide users with the tools they need to protect
the privacy of their workforces' communications. To meet this need,
Silent Circle has been working withSOTI
Inc., leading to today's announcement that Blackphone devices
have achieved certification status under SOTI's OEM program,
allowing deep management and flexibility for policy-driven IT
controls.
In
addition, the partnership will allow current SOTI users to access
Silent Circle's core set of applications that enable private,
encrypted communication. The Silent Suite sets the standard
for enterprise privacy and is available on the Blackphone
as well as iOS and Android devices.
"Protecting sensitive personal or corporate data while
providing reliable and stable service is crucial to a successful
mobile strategy," said Shash Anand, SOTI VP of Strategic Alliances.
"Offering security and privacy without compromise is integral to
what SOTI and Silent Circle can bring to the security-conscious
enterprise. Through our partnership with Silent Circle, we
can ensure that users experience nothing but satisfaction while
providing IT with the confidence to securely manage user devices
without hindering productivity.
Joint
client of Silent Circle and SOTI, Mark
Bowman, Managing Director of Livvy's commented:
"Our clients recognize that security alone isn't enough. This
addition from Silent Circle will enhance mobility security with
Silent Circle's privacy platform and maintain seamless management
through SOTI's EMM and BYOD controls. It's an innovative
combination of two powerful technologies that will deliver a unique
opportunity for businesses."
With
two decades of leadership in the EMM space, SOTI has developed a
reputation based on its consultative approach, advanced EMM
solutions and expertise that has allowed its partners to build and
grow their mobility management practices.
