The mobile agent is a Linux-based appliance that lets you secure the type of email content that is synchronized to users' mobile devices when they connect to the network. This includes content in email messages, calendar events, and tasks.

In your network, the appliance connects to the TRITON management server as well as to your Microsoft Exchange server to provide this function. Outside your DMZ, it connects to any Microsoft ActiveSync-compatible mobile device over 3G and wireless networks—devices such as i-pads, Android mobile phones, and i-phones.

Like the protector, the mobile appliance has an on-board policy engine and fingerprint repository to optimize content analysis.

No software has to be installed on your users' mobile devices.
