CREDANT Mobile Guardian Enterprise Edition (CMG) is based on a flexible, single-system architecture for powerful central administration of single and multi-domain environments. The solution combines policy-based encryption and enforcement, automatic device detection, authentication, auditing and reporting capabilities. Multiple levels of access, device and end user control help ensure endpoint data security as well as compliance readiness. Even better, CMG solutions operate in the background without affecting operational performance, administrative productivity or the user experience.

With CMG Enterprise Edition, organizations can address their endpoint data security and compliance needs in an effective, efficient and transparent manner.

Integrated Components for a Comprehensive, Easy-to-Deploy Solution

CMG Enterprise Edition solutions are based on an integrated set of components. This approach helps streamline deployment and enable organizations to develop tightly integrated yet flexible solutions based on their specific needs.

  • CMG Enterprise Server integrates with enterprise directories to provide a central, web-based interface for security policy definition and management. The interface also supports real-time mobile device inventory, as well as continuous reporting of mobile device security status for policy compliance.
  • CMG Shield resides on mobile devices and external media to enforce mobile security policies even if the device is disconnected from the network. It enforces strong authentication, policy-based encryption, and device / end-user controls. The component is available in a StandAlone for Windows® version that supports devices in disconnected or non-domain environments.
  • CMG Policy Proxy resides on the corporate network or DMZ to provide secure distribution of policies and policy updates from the CMG Enterprise Server to the CMG Shield. It also collects device inventory and reports back to the CMG Server for auditing and reporting.
  • CMG Local Gatekeeper resides on desktops and notebooks to automatically detect, protect and control locally synchronized mobile devices. It provides secure, distributed communications between CMG Shield and CMG Enterprise Server for transparent delivery and management of policy and software updates.
  • CMG OTA Sync Control (optional) enhances Microsoft Exchange Server ActiveSync to control which handhelds can sync email, contacts, and so forth. The component is compatible with Microsoft Security Feature Pack (MSFP).
