Datacraft signs AdaptiveMobile to Protect Mobile Subscribers in Asia Pacific

Dublin, Ireland - June 6th 2008 - Datacraft, Asia Pacific’s leading independent IT Solutions provider, has signed up with leading mobile network security provider AdaptiveMobile to become a Primary Partner in Asia Pacific to sell, deploy and support its portfolio of mobile security solutions across 13 countries in the region, including India, Japan and Korea.

AdaptiveMobile enables mobile operators, including Etisalat and STC, to protect their customers and reputation by safeguarding their services and infrastructure. AdaptiveMobile’s Policy Control Framework provides protection against illegal and inappropriate content, mobile viruses and malware, and unsolicited or unauthorised communications. It works across all mobile services (WAP, SMS, MMS, email), all forms of access (Mobile, WiFi, WiMax) and for all media including mobile internet, text, images, music, voice and video.

Datacraft Asia, which is part of the Dimension Data group, will integrate the AdaptiveMobile Policy Control Framework into its Secure Mobility Framework Solution. Datacraft has developed industry leading solutions to address the growing threat of mobile security and are enabling the operators to deliver value add services to their subscribers. It will assign dedicated sales and resources teams to sell and deploy the complete range of AdaptiveMobile solutions and provide training to staff at its Global Services Centre in Bangalore, India, for post-sales support.

“An increasing number of our mobile operator clients are concerned with the security of their networks as the problem of mobile malware and spam grows worse,” says Andy Cocks, Director, Solutions Development Group and Alliance at Datacraft. “To combat this growing problem, we decided to integrate AdaptiveMobile’s solutions to provide a comprehensive solution to our customers, which automatically adapts to the ever-changing threat environment. AdaptiveMobile’s innovative approach and proven track record with a number of operators in the region makes it the perfect fit for our Secure Mobility Framework and builds the foundations for value add services across all mobile applications”

Lorcan Burke, CEO of AdaptiveMobile, adds: “In terms of mobile security vulnerabilities, mobile users in the Asia-Pacific region are some of the worst affected in the world, with many users receiving up to ten mobile spam messages a day. The Datacraft partnership agreement is therefore very important, as it will further enable us to extend our reach in this key market and receive the support of one of the most experienced and reputable IT Solutions providers in Asia.”

Simeon Coney, Vice President of Strategic Development at AdaptiveMobile, will be presenting at this year’s CommunicAsia, 17 to 20 June, in Singapore. Mr. Coney’s presentation, “Capitalising on content delivery and personalisation,” will take place on 18 June at 11:15 a.m.
