AuthenTec (NASDAQ:AUTH), a leading provider of mobile and
network, today announced that Samsung has chosen its QuickSec™ VPN
security for use in new Android smartphone and tablet models.
AuthenTec's QuickSec Mobile VPN Client for Android enhances secure
communication through an Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) based
VPN client which is integrated in Samsung smartphones and tablets.
The integration of AuthenTec’s VPN client means that Samsung Galaxy
users now have built-in security and can more easily and safely
connect to enterprise networks to access resources without
sacrificing mobility.
AuthenTec’s QuickSec Mobile VPN Client for Android continues to
gain traction and broad acceptance in the market. QuickSec VPN
enhances the security of multiple new Android smartphones and
tablets, providing users peace of mind that they can quickly and
securely connect to their networks and the cloud.
The need for VPN security that allows smartphone and tablet
users to easily and securely connect to enterprise networks
continues to grow. In fact, according to Cisco, by the end of 2012
the number of mobile-connected devices will exceed the number of
people on Earth. Samsung smartphones and tablets equipped with
AuthenTec’s VPN Client for Android are ready to connect to
enterprise networks the moment they are unboxed, eliminating the
need for IT administrators to install a separate VPN
application.
AuthenTec‘s Mobile VPN Client for Android is a complete Mobile
VPN solution tailored specifically for Android phones and tablets,
and is based on AuthenTec’s widely deployed QuickSec technology.
This VPN client solution has been thoroughly tested and proven for
interoperability with all major VPN gateways and comes with an
easily customizable user interface. QuickSec VPN Client for Android
is robust enough for enterprise VPN access but as straightforward
for phone and tablet users as entering a password or PIN. Some of
the key features include complete IPsec, Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
and above, IPv6, IKEv2 with MOBIKE, Xauth, EAP-based
authentication, and split tunneling support.
AuthenTec offers complete mobile and network security solutions
for handset makers, mobile operators, and rich content providers,
including fingerprint sensor hardware, identity management software
and embedded security.
