A security shell for handsets used by UK police forces
New solution against all current and future cyber threats to be used within Arqiva’s Police Mobile Data Solution.
The software is installed on mobile handset devices manufactured by HTC and operates on the Windows Mobile platform. It provides officers in the field with immediate, encrypted and secure access to vital systems and resources such as the Police National Computer, Warrants Management System, Command and Control, mapping, email, fixed penalty notices, briefing updates and accident reporting.
Every handset is locked down and surrounded by a ‘security shell’ of which Kaspersky Mobile Security and KasperskyWork Space Security form an integral part. Head of Mobile Data at Arqiva, Peter Harris states: “We knew that if we wanted to be successful in rolling this solution out across all UK police forces it needed to be impenetrable to security threats, whether this is as a result of loss, theft or a cyber attack.”
Kaspersky Lab - Europe's largest antivirus company - was chosen for its industry leading detection levels, the ability to work in a Windows Mobile environment alongside Ariqva’s own software, as well as its small footprint that requires minimal system resources, which in turn enables more power to be dedicated to user functions.
Harris explains: “Today it is almost impossible for these devices to be attacked successfully and Kaspersky Mobile Security and Kaspersky Work Space Security is fundamentally important to the protection of the Police Mobile Data Solution.”
Due to the success and interest in the Police Mobile Data Solution, Arqiva expects to roll out more than 40,000 devices across UK forces.
