CREDANT Mobile Guardian(CMG) Enterprise Edition

The Ultimate Enterprise-Wide Security and Control for Mobile and Wireless Workers

Unlike older technologies, CMG Enterprise Edition delivers data security without interfering with user productivity.

The CMG Enterprise Edition architecture has four primary components:

1. The CMG Enterprise Server
The easy to use CMG Enterprise Server console enables IT administrators to set and enforce data encryption policies across the enterprise. Policies can be set by individuals, groups or entire divisions. The administration console also delivers robust compliance and audit reporting information so you are always up-to-date with your policies...and can prove it.

2. The CMG Shield
The CMG Shield resides on devices and external media to enforce security policies even if the device is disconnected from the network. The CMG Shield enforces strong authentication, policy-based intelligent encryption and device and end-user controls so the data on your devices is always protected.

3. The CMG Policy Proxy
The CMG Policy Proxy resides on the corporate network or in the DMZ to provide secure distribution of policies and policy updates. The Policy Proxy also collects device inventory and reports the information back to the CMG Enterprise Server for auditing and reporting.

4. The CMG Local Gatekeeper
 The CMG Local Gatekeeper resides on desktops and notebooks (hence the name "Local") to automatically detect, apply policy and control mobile devices that are connecting to and through the desktop or laptop.
