SecureJet Enterprise from Jetmobile fully leverages HID Global’s PKI smart cards and proximity card capabilities.

“Our multivendor Seos-capable SecureJet Enterprise solution allows large enterprise companies to ensure printed and scanned documents don’t fall into the wrong hands, and it actively reduces costs, whether documents come from a PC, a MFP, a mobile device or a server,” said Jean-Francois d'Estalenx, CEO of Jetmobile. “It provides strong authentication, PKI-encrypted printing and emails, secure BYOD mobile printing and rules-based printing to printers and MFPs of all brands. The high security Seos technology is a key part of our vertical industry secure printing connectors for Banks and Insurance, Oil & Gas, Public Sector, Healthcare and SAP printing, all available from Jetmobile across the world.”
