Key Features Include Enterprise IT  Management & Deployment Tools, Integration with Active Directory,  Server and Client Security Controls, and Easy-to-Use On-Device File  Browsing.             New York, NY - TechCrunch Disrupt -  GroupLogic, the industrys leading provider of software products that  unlock the power of new enterprise platforms, today unveiled mobilEcho,  the industrys first and only secure mobile file management (MFM)  software product for iPad at TechCrunch Disrupt in New York City.  mobilEcho enables enterprise IT organizations to provide secure and  managed corporate file access for enterprise iPad users, based on  existing security and access control policies.         Since Apple introduced iPad, both enterprises and consumers  have avidly embraced the newest mobile form factor-Apple recently said  more than 80% of Fortune 100 companies are either currently using or  testing iPads within their organizations. Whether directly acquired by  the enterprise or brought
into the workplace by employees, enterprise IT  organizations are struggling to offer secure access to enterprise file  servers without a native, user-accessible file system on the device.             mobilEcho addresses this problem by enabling enterprise  IT organizations to rapidly install and provide simple, secure and  managed mobile file management for corporate iPad users. mobilEcho  features include the ability to: Access, Browse, Preview, Cache and Search Files on Corporate File Servers through a familiar and intuitive application interface, making it simple to use with virtually no end-user learning curve;Encrypt and securely transfer files to and on iPad, ensuring corporate assets are not compromised in transit;Remotely wipe mobilEcho configuration and resident  fi les in the event of a lost, stolen or compromised device, protecting corporate files;Integrate easily with Active Directory, enforcing access control rights and file permissions;Configure and deploy both server
and client software in less than 10 minutes ensuring IT can get up and running quickly; and,Enforce unique policies based on application requirements,  including turning off or on features based on the enterprises unique  security requirements. This includes the end-users ability to email  files, view files in third-party applications and store files on-device. Until todays release of mobilEcho, enterprise iPad users had no  choice but to use inherently flawed and unsecure work-arounds to access  files on iPad, including emailing files to themselves or uploading  enterprise files into unsecured consumer-based cloud storage  environments, violating corporate security, governance and compliance  policies and increasing the risk for IT managers.   mobilEcho is the only mobile file management system available that: Can be centrally managed by IT;Connects directly and securely to enterprise file servers;Enables IT to deploy and configure corporate-wide mobile file access in
minutes;Provides on-device browsing and storage of corporate files in a secure environment;Ensures mobile file access integrates with existing Active Directory permissions; and,Provides IT organizations with enterprise-ready software for  integrating corporate- and employee-owned iPads into the enterprise  ecosystem.  'End users are embracing consumer-oriented mobile devices like iPads  in a big way,' says Jack Gold, President of J.Gold Associates, LLC.  'However, while users concentrate on usability features and increased  mobility, corporate IT must ensure that enterprise data assets remain  protected against loss, misuse and regulatory non-compliance. It is  imperative that companies enable methods to protect and wipe data from  these dev ices, or face potentially costly security breaches and  regulatory actions.'  mobilEcho is available today, and has been in beta testing at more than 35 enterprise customer sites for over four months.   'We rely on iPad to greatly enhance the
productivity of our staff and  better meet the needs of our Scientists in a demanding research  environment,' said Ben Hanes, Senior Systems Analyst, Childrens  Hospital Oakland Research Institute. 'mobilEcho is the only software on  the market that we have found that is made for enterprise IT  organizations, and actually enables our IT organization to securely  manage remote file access on iPad while having confidence that sensitive  and proprietary files and assets cannot be compromised.'  mobilEcho can be purchased via the GroupLogic web store.
