A lightweight, purpose-built client for Windows Mobile powered devices, SecureClient Mobile maintains continuous and transparent VPN connectivity with Check Point VPN-1® and Connectra™ gateways when roaming across networks, and eliminates the need for end-users to re-authenticate."</i><br /><br />I can't believe we missed this announcement two weeks ago. The roaming capability of the new client looks particularly good; any Check Point readers here who have tried it and know if it seamlessly roams between WiFi and cellular networks? That alone brings the Pocket PC into a new market of usability. 8) The price is $40/device for a perpetual license.

This is a huge boost in the race to get WM devices secure enough to use in the Enterprise. Thanks to Janak for a great security post!
