and-trusted protection provided by a company’s central firewall is no use for mobile clients.

Mobile clients (e.g., laptops, netbooks, PDAs) and removable media (e.g., USB memory sticks) are particularly vulnerable to loss or theft, which makes them a weak spot in modern IT infrastructure. Companies need a security solution that can not only protect them against this threat, but also ensure that no unauthorized persons can access their saved data or the rest of their IT infrastructure.
