Security Shield Enables Cellular Phone Remote Control for BlackBerry





Finally we have available a remote security solution for our smartphones too, in addition to the ones available for laptop computers.
The Security Shield application designed for BlackBerry handsets allows the users to remotely backup, lock and delete information stored on smartphones, for cases when these are lost or stolen.



Security Shield was developed by SMobile Systems and consists of the VirusGuard antivirus and the application that enables remote lock, wipe, backup and restore of the data.

To benefit from its features, you need to download the application on your handset, and register the BlackBerry model with an email address and password.
In case the phone is missing you can go online from any PC or phone and manage the device via a special control panel, where you can use different commands for managing the information on the handset.



“We all know someone who has left their phone at a restaurant or in a taxi, and as a result has lost everything from important contact information to confidential personal or professional data,” said Neil Book, president, SMobile Systems. “Large corporations are backing up data regularly and IT managers have the option to lock or wipe the contents of a missing device, but individuals and small or medium
businesses have gone without the protection of these features until now.”
