3LM to roll out enterprise security platform for Android this week In a recent statement, the officials at 3LM have revealed that the company intends rolling out its enterprise security platform for Android handsets this week. The unique product, according to 3LM's claims, will provide "seamless" access "simultaneously and securely" to enterprise resources and the Internet.

Founded by ex-Android developers and taken over by Motorola, 3LM chiefly develops mobile enterprise security software and solutions as well as mobile device management products for the Google Android OS.

The company claims to be a one-of-its-kind mobile security vendor as the technology that it offers secures all apps running on a handset, rather than just those which have been written for a particular security platform.

Stating that platform-specific apps basically include solutions which facilitate the creation of `secure' containers or some space on a device, the 3LM president Tom Moss told PC World that such platforms are "limited" in the sense that anything outside of the secure container is unsafe.

Moss also added that for securing an Android handset completely, 3LM been able to convince a few handset manufacturers - including Sony Ericsson, Motorola, HTC, Sharp, and Pantech - to load a section of its software onto their devices.

Further adding that facilitating the handset makers in loading the software on all their mobile handset models is "one of our key philosophies," Moss said: "There's no such thing as an enterprise SKU. Any device can make its way into an enterprise."
