DOD Announces the Expansion of Defense Industrial Base (DIB) Voluntary Cybersecurity Information Sharing Activities

BobGourley — Sat, 12 May 2012 10:36:26 +0000

DOD Announces the Expansion of Defense Industrial Base (DIB) Voluntary Cybersecurity Information Sharing Activities
(From: http://www.defense.gov/releases/release.aspx?releaseid=15266 )

The Department of Defense in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security announced today important developments in defense industrial base cyber security activities. After a year-long Defense Industrial Base (DIB) cyber security pilot, the DoD’s Voluntary DIB Cyber Security/ Information Assurance (CS/IA) Program is now available to all eligible DIB companies. In addition, DIB Enhanced Cyber security Services (DECS) will become part of the expanded program.

These activities enhance and supplement existing cyber security capabilities to help safeguard sensitive DoD information that is maintained on DIB company unclassified information systems.

“The expansion of voluntary information sharing between the department and the defense industrial base represents an important step forward in our ability to catch up with widespread cyber threats,” said Ashton Carter, deputy secretary of defense. “Increased dependence on Internet solutions have exposed sensitive but unclassified information stored on corporate systems to malicious probes, theft, and attacks. This expanded partnership between DoD and the defense industrial base will help reduce the risk of intrusions on our systems.”

The United States continues to face a significant risk that critical defense information residing on DIB networks and systems can be compromised by malicious cyber actors resulting in potential economic losses or damage to United States national security. The Department of Defense is actively engaged in multiple efforts to foster mutually beneficial partnerships with the DIB to protect Department of Defense information residing on or passing though DIB systems.

“I am pleased by the deep collaboration between DoD, DHS and DIB partners. The success of this program encourages us to explore additional ways to enhance the protection of defense industry networks and DoD information,” said Carter. “Shared information between DoD, DHS and the defense industrial base can help us defend against the ever-growing threat of cyber attacks.”

These expanded partnering opportunities will advance and support the administration’s efforts to improve the cyber security posture of both public and private critical infrastructure.

Fixmo Introduces the SafeGuard Software Development Kit to Bring Defense-Grade Security and Management to Mobile Applications

BobGourley — Mon, 07 May 2012 22:06:24 +0000

Fixmo, the mobile risk management company, today announced Fixmo SafeGuard, a powerful new Software Development Kit (SDK) for securing mobile apps and protecting private data on iOS and Android devices. With the rapid proliferation of mobile apps, both consumers and business professionals are storing an increasing amount of sensitive information on smartphones and tablets, leaving them vulnerable to private data loss and security threats. Fixmo SafeGuard adds additional layers of security and encryption to existing mobile apps to mitigate the risk of privacy loss, private data leakage, malicious exploits and policy compliance breaches.

The Fixmo SafeGuard SDK creates a secure container around mobile apps by “wrapping” them with advanced access controls, remote policy management and defense-grade data encryption. It leverages the same technology that powers the Fixmo SafeZone secure workspace, which has been developed as part of Fixmo’s Co-operative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) and is now available for government agencies and enterprise customers around the world.

“As mobile apps become more sophisticated and store an increasing amount of private data, we need to ensure they can be properly secured and protected,” said Rick Segal, CEO, Fixmo. “As a leader in mobile security and compliance, we’re very excited to bring the SafeGuard SDK to our customers and partners to help them secure and harden their mobile apps with some of the most advanced data encryption and policy management capabilities available today.”

With the Fixmo SafeGuard SDK, app developers can add the following capabilities to their mobile apps for iOS and Android:
• Defense-Grade Encryption a of data-at-rest and data-in-transit using FIPS 140-2 validated AES 256-bit encryption
• Application-Level Policy Management including password controls and security checks to prevent the app from running if the device has been compromised, Jailbroken or Rooted
• Remote Application Management including remote lock/wipe commands and custom management policies
• Application Deployment into Fixmo SafeZone, the secure workspace for enterprises and government agencies for BYOD and corporate-owned iOS and Android devices

Apps that are secured with the Fixmo SafeGuard SDK can be deployed directly to mobile devices and managed as individual apps, or they can be deployed into the Fixmo SafeZone secure corporate workspace and be centrally managed alongside other enterprise apps using the Fixmo SafeZone or Fixmo Sentinel management tools.

Application developers and systems integrators interested in securing their apps with the Fixmo SafeGuard SDK can find more information at http://fixmo.com/products/safezone/safeguard.

Fixmo SafeZone is the first secure corporate workspace for iOS and Android that provides encrypted, contained and managed corporate email, browsing, documents and applications with a defense-grade security architecture that provides AES 256-bit encryption of data-at-rest and data-in-transit without relying on a Network Operations Center (NOC). Fixmo SafeGuard is a new app security SDK that is built on the same technology that is used in Fixmo SafeZone.

“Fixmo is proud to expand its offering of no-charge mobile security and risk management products for government agencies as part of our Co-operative Research and Development Agreement with the NSA/CSS,” said Rick Segal, CEO, Fixmo. “The Fixmo SafeZone Secure Browser and SafeGuard SDK provide powerful new tools to enable secure, managed and controlled access to behind-the-firewall applications from the latest iPhones, iPads and Android-based devices, at no additional cost.”

The Fixmo SafeZone Secure Browser is a fully contained and encrypted HTML-5 web browser that provides secure access to behind-the-firewall applications, content and documents on smartphones and tablets. The Secure Browser stays completely contained from the native browser on the device, ensuring a complete separation between personal and corporate data. It offers secure browsing on both iOS and Android devices using defense-grade FIPS 140-2 validated AES 256-bit encryption for all data stored within the browser and its local cache.

The Fixmo SafeGuard SDK enables government agencies to add defense-grade security, policy management and IT controls to their custom applications for iOS and Android. With Fixmo SafeGuard, developers can easily enhance their mobile applications with the same FIPS 140-2 validated AES 256-bit encryption, advanced access controls and IT policies that are inherent in the Fixmo SafeZone secure workspace solution. Once an application is updated and re-packaged using the Fixmo SafeGuard SDK, organizations can deploy it into the Fixmo SafeZone secure workspace and manage application policies using the Fixmo SafeZone or Fixmo Sentinel management console.

Government customers can learn more about the Fixmo SafeZone Secure Browser and SafeGuard SDK and sign up for a no-charge version at http://fixmo.com/products/safezone/government .
