Lockheed Martin and Fixmo, Inc. have integrated technologies to offer an innovative level of secure authentication for consumer grade mobile devices.

 

SafeZone, provided by, Fixmo, is defense-grade secure workspace solution for iOS and Android devices that keeps all corporate email, browsing, documents and applications encrypted, contained, and under IT control no matter who owns the device.  

 

And Lockheed’s Mandrake SG technology will enable smartphone and tablet users to authenticate into Fixmo‘s SafeZone with a simple, user-defined Secure Gesture, ensuring the true identity of a user and easier approach than a 14-character complex, randomly generated password. 

 

This collaboration allows secure and compliant mobile computing in the workplace without compromising the end-user experience or regulatory requirements

 

“Through our collaboration with Lockheed Martin, we can now protect all business apps and sensitive data on mobile devices with some of the most powerful multi-factor authentication technology that we’ve seen to-date—without requiring the user to remember a highly complex passcode or carry additional hard tokens or smartcards,” said Bruce Gilley, President of Fixmo U.S.
