Nokia and Pointsec today announced that they have jointly developed a solution designed to protect enterprise customers' data on mobile devices. The new Pointsec file encryption solution enables the encryption of user data such as email, SMS and MMS messages, calendar and contacts as well as memory card data.

The solution will be available for Nokia Series 60 and Nokia Series 80 devices, starting with the Nokia 9500 Communicator.

"Nokia strongly believes that security is a key enabler for business mobility," comments Panu Kuusisto, Director, Alliances at Nokia Enterprise Solutions. "As devices become increasingly sophisticated and more company sensitive information is stored on them, it is vital to bring the same level of security to mobile devices as currently exists on wired IT devices such as laptops."
