Volvo encrypting data on employees' PDAs using Pointsec

The company has taken out 2,500 licenses for Pointsec for Pocket PC 2.1, which offers automatic, real-time encryption of all data on a user's PDA, including documents created with Microsoft Outlook, Notes and Pocket Word. The software also automatically secures data stored on removable media.
