The Seos-powered mobile access solution addresses both security and privacy, key concerns in mobility management strategies for enterprises intent on securing people, buildings and assets. Debra Spitler, Vice President, Strategic Alliances with HID Global, said: “Mobility is a top priority for organisations because more employees than ever before are demanding access to the apps and data that will make them productive on-the-go.

We are pleased to partner with Samsung to deliver a versatile secure solution for mobile access across the enterprise.”
