Mobile Reach International and Network Security Consulting have formed a partnership to enhance Mobile Reach's world class mobile solutions by surrounding these solutions with a programmatic and technically sound security infrastructure. The two companies bring complementary services and expertise to organizations that are looking to implement a mobile solution but are concerned about the security within their wireless environment. According to a recent Yankee Group corporate wireless study, security is the number one concern for large-scale wireless data services rollouts and it is the largest perceived hurdle to full-scale wireless implementations.

The combined expertise created by this partnership allows mobile security solutions to be developed for organizations with even the most stringent security requirements. NSC has assembled top-talent from the Department of Defense, US intelligence agencies, and commercial industries, creating a unique combination of skill and experience committed to delivering exceptional information security consulting to both the public and private sectors. This deep understanding of processes, policies and requirements surrounding implementing a secure mobile solution is imperative to both companies' clients.

"Mobile Reach is very pleased to have bridged the gap in enterprise-wide mobile security, and adding a partner such as Network Security Consulting, enables Mobile Reach to execute further on its plan of becoming the go-to mobility company," says Mike Hewitt, CEO of Mobile Reach. "The requirement by our clients regarding having a world class mobile solution that is completely secure has been growing rapidly, as the proliferation of wireless access becomes more readily available. Even the most advanced implementation of a mobile application can be considered incomplete without a properly designed security policy, and that is the core strength that NSC brings to Mobile Reach and our clients."

Industries such as HealthCare and Financial Services are expected to lead the pack when it comes to secure mobility implementations. In an already emerging marketplace, mobile security is expected to hit an all-time high of $500 Million over the next three years, according to recent analyst reports.

"NSC is very excited about our relationship with Mobile Reach," says Jim Bothe, President of NSC. We've seen several organizations deploy wireless solutions without considering their security requirements from the start. Retrofitting security into environments that are already deployed and operating has been an extremely painful experience for them. Mobile Reach has recognized the need to confront and solve the security issue up front. The ability to bring truly mobile and truly secure applications to industries such as health care is revolutionary. We're pleased to be a part of it."

Mobile Reach International is a product and services company focused on providing mobile security business solutions throughout the United States and Europe.

Network Security Consulting is an organization of information security professionals dedicated to solving clients' information security problems, and promoting the understanding and acceptance of prudent information security measures.
