Pkware Unleashes SecureZIP Reader for iOS

PKWARE, Inc. announced SecureZIP Reader for iOS, an application that secures enterprise and government data on phones and tablets.

Using it, corporate end-users can now securely access data from the cloud on mobile devices.

It extends the PKWARE enterprise security solution to phones and tablets, solving the problem of securing data in the cloud. The SecureZIP Solution secures corporate information that end-users send to the cloud via file-sharing applications, like DropBox, Box.net or email, to access on their mobile devices.

"With the ‘consumerization of IT’, Chief Information Security Officers are struggling to secure data sent through the cloud to phones and tablets. We are very pleased that SecureZIP Reader is now available on the iPad and iPhone. No longer does someone have to send data ‘in the clear’ to a mobile device," said V. Miller Newton, CEO for PKWARE. "The SecureZIP Solution now solves the security problem that Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) and the cloud have created."

SecureZIP Reader is a free application for iOS devices and is available in the Apple iTunes store. It will be available for Android and Kindle Fire will be available in the second quarter of 2012.
