Credant Technologies to Encrypt Army Data

The US Army has awarded a contract to Credant Technologies to provide security software services for the Army's Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center.

Under the contract, the company will provide Credant Mobile Guardian (CMG) to protect all government data stored in laptops, desktops and other removable media.

Based on a flexible, single-system architecture, the solution combines policy-based encryption and enforcement, automatic device detection, authentication, auditing and reporting capabilities.

CMG ensures compliance with government data protection requirements, including OMB-M-06 and Federal Information Security Management Act.

In addition, the software solution securely encrypts sensitive data, while providing in-depth defence including user authentication, controlled port access and application restrictions.
