Symantec updates smart phone management suite.

"In addition to a variety of mobile device management features, Symantec Mobile Management 7.0 will allow administrators to deploy applications and updates to the mobile fleet. The other two products include Symantec Network Access Control Mobile Edition 6.0 and Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile Edition 6.0, which together will protect devices against malicious threats and unauthorized access to the corporate network or Microsoft Exchange server.

The security giant said that while these products are only supported on Windows-based phones, the company is exploring Google Android and Apple iPhone solutions.

Rick Maddox, senior manager of product marketing with Symantec, said the updated product line will give security staff a single console for provisioning, managing, securing and retiring enterprise smart phones."
