Trustonic and Armour Communications partner on secure government and enterprise communications
March 2017 by Marc Jacob
Device and application security specialist Trustonic, has announced a partnership with Armour Communications, a leading supplier of strong, end-to-end encrypted voice, data and video communication for governments and enterprises. Armour can now protect its communications software with Trustonic’s Kinibi Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)* device security technology – which is embedded in more than 1 billion devices worldwide – making it resistant to any software threats resident in the main OS.
Trustonic’s technology enables Armour to further enhance communication platforms that are already approved to protect UK government and military communications under the Secure Chorus program, a group which Armour helped to establish in 2016 to promote the development and uptake of secure communication technologies. This formalised partnership builds on an existing collaboration to secure Armour’s Samsung Mobile product. The solution is approved by the National Cyber Security Centre’s (NCSC) Commercial Product Assurance (CPA) programme and utilises the Trustonic-secured Samsung KNOX platform to provide hardware-based security for high-threat environments and security-conscious organisations.
