Cummings Engineering introduces new standard for mobile security

Cummings Engineering has introduced a new standard for mobile security, SecureMobile 1.0, to federal government organisations, as well as state and local law enforcement agencies.

Powered by Cummings-built Secure Agile Interoperable Framework for the Enterprise (SAIFE), the new mobile security standard has been designed as a part of a Government-Only Early Adopter Program.

The SAIFE technology uses military grade encryption, known as the Suite B algorithms from the National Security Agency (NSA) to provide users with trusted security for information sharing across any network and any device.

Cummings Engineering president Darren Cummings said that the SecureMobile has been tested for both vulnerabilities and utility.

"We were committed to releasing a product only when we felt the appropriate security was achieved — the stakes are too high for our customers. We are confident this product represents the highest level of secure communications on a commercial off the shelf (COTS) device today," Cummings added.

The company’s product features cryptographic foundation, which is validated by the US Government’s National Institute of Standards & Technology’s Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS 140-2).

"SecureMobile is the first of many applications powered by SAIFE to overcome these threats and help enable trusted use of commercial phones, tablets and networked devices."

Currently in service at the federal level, the product provides highest level of mobile security to new federal government organisations, as well as state and local law enforcement agencies.
