Symantec aims for PC-type security on mobiles.

"[A] security suite for Windows Mobile devices... Companies will be able to encrypt everything on a handheld device and its storage cards, or just selected files, using 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption. Either way, access to the data is protected via a username and password when starting the device or trying to access the encrypted folder, Miller said. The antivirus component keeps users from accessing infected files and lets administrators regularly scan devices. The antispam feature can filter out and delete spam text messages, Symantec said. Also included are an IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) VPN, a tool for keeping devices that are not compliant with policies off the network, and a mechanism for keeping employees from using selected features of a device.

If a device falls into the wrong hands, administrators can wipe off the data remotely or set it up so the data is eliminated after a specified number of password tries. The suite also includes an audit log feature that keeps track of activity on the device so the company can see everything that happened after it fell out of the employee's hands, Miller said."
