TrustApps to expand the indigo and KNS ecosystem for ultra-mobile working at VS-NfD level.
Trustworthy security – tested according to German standards
The secure app ecosystem for ultra-mobile working
Smartphones and tablets are indispensable in modern public authorities. Employees expect to be able to work just as productively on the move as they do on the desktop. Platforms such as indigo (iOS) and Knox Native Solution (Samsung) offer a secure basis with central apps (email, calendar and contacts). However, these functions are often not enough – for collaborative work, secure access to the intranet, specialist applications, VS-NfD data and documents.
This is where the Trust product family from Materna Virtual Solution comes in:
The TrustApps specifically extend the native platforms with functions for ultra-mobile working. This creates an integrated app ecosystem that enables the mobile processing of information up to VS-NfD. The TrustApps can be flexibly combined and were developed in collaboration with BSI and Apple – for secure, productive work “made & secured in Germany”.
