All-round IT security - Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity and Panasonic offer a joint solution for highly secure, mobile work

The IT security experts from Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity and Panasonic Mobile Solutions will in future offer their customers a joint VS-NfD-approved security solution for mobile work. Panasonic Mobile Solutions supplies fail-safe IT solutions with robust hardware and services under the TOUGHBOOK brand. Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity supplements this with comprehensive, proactive IT security – consisting of a highly secure browser, a software-based VPN client and hard disk encryption.

Mobile working has become part of everyday work for many. Portable devices are a popular target for cyber attacks. On the go, more unauthorized persons can potentially gain access to data, steal or manipulate it - for example via an insufficiently secured WLAN connection. With the joint, VS-NfD-approved solution, the IT security experts Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity and Panasonic Mobile Solutions are making secure mobile and encrypted work even easier while complying with high security requirements.

Maximum availability of technology and employees

The mobile IT solutions from Panasonic Mobile Solutions are based on robust notebooks, 2-in-1 hybrid devices, tablets and handhelds and are specifically developed for IT-unfriendly work environments and strenuous 24/7 continuous use. Certified according to various IP protection classes and MIL-STD-810G, they reduce costly, time-consuming failures to a minimum. With a modular design and versatile interface options – including integrated barcode/RFID scanners – they can be adapted as required. In this way they combine the advantages of several devices in one reliable multifunctional tool and offer maximum availability of technology and employees.

Comprehensive IT security against cyber attacks

Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity supplements the fail-safe IT solutions from Panasonic Mobile Solutions with comprehensive IT security: The software-based R&S®Trusted VPN Client protects the network communication of a client platform (Windows laptop, tablet) with an agency or company network via a untrusted network, such as the Internet. A zero-trust architecture was implemented for the operating system in order to exclude risks due to possible operating system exploits. The "Always On" mode provides additional security: users are never unprotected in an untrustworthy network. Hard disk encryption R& S®Trusted Disk protects sensitive data from unauthorized access with secure and transparent real-time encryption without compromising productivity even in the event of loss or theft - even on USB data carriers. And the virtual environment for secure web surfing, R&S®Browser in the Box, in combination with the R&S Trusted VPN Client and R&S Trusted Disk, offers an additional security system for a highly secure, mobile workplace.

"The IT security of mobile devices is in many ways an essential aspect of working on the move," emphasizes Timo Unger, Country Manager CEE at Panasonic Mobile Solutions. “It is not only sensitive sectors such as police and security services, health care and the energy industry that depend on security for mobile devices. With Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity, we have an ideal partner at our side to be able to offer our robust and therefore fail-safe mobile devices combined with a proactive IT security package from a single source.”

"We are pleased to be able to offer customers a highly secure, mobile workplace as part of our cooperation with Panasonic Mobile Solutions," adds Dr. Falk Herrmann, Managing Director of Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity. "Together with our security solutions, the TOUGHBOOK tablets and handhelds from Panasonic are the perfect platform for all users who do not want to compromise on the robustness of the devices or on IT security."
