iForem, a Redwood Shores, Calif.-based provider of digital asset preservation, has
acquired EnMoDa, an innovator in the mobile communications Digital Privacy market.
EnMoDa’s technology enables mobile users to send encrypted messages, text, voice
mail and attachments between devices with complete privacy and control.
With its strategic acquisition of EnMoDa, the combined company will focus
on launching a new service and set of products that delivers one-click, digital
privacy to both businesses and consumers. With easy to install, highly secure and
customizable products, iForem’s Private Communications Network
(PCN) will enhance digital privacy for customers without requiring any additional
software or servers.
iForem will be demonstrating their PCN technology at the Mobile World Congress
in Barcelona, Spain, February 15-18, 2010
Digital Privacy
- According to research from the Gartner Group and IDG, 35 percent of all people with
a mobile phone and 80 percent of people on the Web use email; 980 million emails
are sent and received each day from mobile devices. Videos and pictures are being
used by 40 percent of people on the Web and email.
- The privacy solutions widely used today to secure this type of digital content are
often server-based systems that are complex, expensive and require consulting services
to implement and maintain. Extending Digital Privacy between individuals, businesses
and partners is often difficult and unmanageable.
- iForem is developing a Private Communications Network that will allow users to secure
and privately send digital content from one device to another with a one-click installation
process.

uses technology to communicate, share or conduct business. Even if you do the best
you can to protect your digital privacy, the person you send content to may not
take the same care to protect your privacy. Our Private Communications Network will
allow businesses and consumers to secure most digital communications with market-leading
encryption levels.”
