DSD and Microsoft complete successful security assessment

11 March 2008

Defence Signals Directorate’s Australasian Information Security Evaluation Program (AISEP) has completed a security assessment of Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 5.0 with Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP) and Windows Mobile 6 systems.

This assessment has been an important step in evaluating emerging technology for potential use in government systems. The successful evaluation of these products means that government can be assured that there will be greater choices available to work remotely.

As the national authority for information security, DSD plays a vital role in evaluating Information and Communications Technology security products for use in the Australian Government’s official communications and information systems.

DSD is Australia's national authority for information security.  One of DSD’s principal functions is to provide Information Security (InfoSec) products and services to the Australian Government and its Defence Force.
