Helsinki, Finland – 30 August , 2010 – Stonesoft, an innovative
provider of integrated network security and business continuity solutions, today announced the
extended availability of the StoneGate MobileID authentication software token for five additional

The more common cloud computing becomes in corporate business and virtualized datacenters,

organizations can maintain optimal security management and ensure strong authentication.

which are used to provide secure identification to the organization's mission-critical systems,
such as CRM and corporate e-mail.
The StoneGate MobileID is now available for the following platforms: Microsoft Windows,
Linux, Apple Mac OS X, smart phones supporting Java such as Windows Mobile and Symbian with native
versions for RIM Blackberry, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Apple iPod, Apple iPhone, Apple iPad and
Google Android.
"The new version of StoneGate MobileID brings a valuable addition to our existing platform
support, providing our customers a unique multi-factor authentication solution" says
Marco Rottigni, StoneGate SSL VPN Product Manager at
Stonesoft. “The software allows our customers to implement secure access to applications in the
cloud with the extensive identity and access management system provided by StoneGate SSL VPN. This
is extremely beneficial for any organization that wants to make sure their employees can access
necessary corporate applications and data at any time while ensuring the highest level of
security".
With the StoneGate SSL VPN solution, organizations can provide controlled yet flexible remote
access for their employees, partners and customers. The solution enables organizations to share
information freely and yet have full control over who accesses the information, when and from
where. Like all StoneGate network security solutions, the StoneGate SSL VPN solution is also
available for virtual network environments.
