TEOPAD is a security solution for professional applications on smartphones and tablets, developed by Thales and designed for businesses and administrations.
With TEOPAD it is possible to create a secure professional environment, on the terminal, that can be run concurrently with the native, uncontrolled personal environment. This professional environment is presented in the form of an "application-container" which can be run following strong authentication by means of an icon on the terminal desktop. This entirely hermetic and encrypted environment contains all the applications, data and settings required by users for their professional activity:
- Web browser, e-mail client, document viewers, notepad, phone client, business applications, etc.
- Documents, contacts database, calendar, e-mail archives, etc.
With TEOPAD Thales innovation ensures secure and easy mobility
The innovations developed by Thales allow TEOPAD to propose significant market differentiators:
- Flexibility in the choice of terminal:TEOPAD for Android can be deployed on most Android terminals (version 2.3 and later).
- Flexibility in the choice of applications:TEOPAD provides a secure platform for most Android Market applications along with your business applications.
- Protecting your information in all its forms:TEOPAD implements a secure sandbox in which your professional applications can be run securely. Your enterprise data therefore remains protected in every context of editing, viewing or communication.
- Easy deployment for the user: after receiving their means of authentication (Secure Element and Secret Code), users download the TEOPAD application from the "Company Store" via your company intranet. The "Company Store" makes the secure applications available to all your employees according to their business profile.
- Native user interface:TEOPAD maintains the user interface of the OS and of the applications used. Furthermore, the two environments - personal and professional - can run simultaneously, so allowing users to know permanently what is happening in each and to switch in complete transparency from one to the other.
This combination of technical capabilities and innovations, patented by THALES, makes TEOPAD the world's first mechanism to provide CIOs with a tried-and-tested solution for securing professional data and applications, and separating the personal and professional spheres of employees, whether in the context of a corporate equipment pool or a BYOD ("bring your own device") approach.
TEOPAD is also the first security solution at this level to have no impact whatsoever on the user experience.
