The iPhone is pushing into BlackBerry’s turf for enterprise customers. Just announced, Check Point Software Technologies has added support for the iPhone through its VPN-1 product, a Virtual Private Networking (VPN) software tool.VPN-1 supports secure Internet communication with the iPhone using the iPhone's embedded Layer 2 Transport Protocol (L2TP) client. That enables iPhone users communicating with enterprises that use Check Point's VPN-1 software to do so without the need for any additional software to be installed.
VPN-1 administrators can create specific log-in credentials for each iPhone users using a shared secret password and certificates for all iPhones on the network.
Other features of the iPhone for enterprise are:
- Push email
- Push contacts
- Push calendar
- Global Address List
- Certificates and identities
- WPA2/802.1X
- Enforced security policies
- More VPN protocols
- Device configuration
- Remote wipe
From what I have been able to see of Apple the past few years, BlackBerry should be afraid.
