Secure mobile VNCphone puts an end to mobile spying

VNC has announced the release of its secure mobile VNCphone, which puts an end to mobile spying. It offers a secure solution for mobile communication and collaboration. Featuring a unique combination of hardware, a hardened operating system, and pre-installed applications, VNCphone ensures end-to-end security, protecting users from mobile spying and data breaches.

With the VNCphone, VNC presents a unique combination of mobile phones, hardened operating system and pre-installed applications for secure mobile communication and collaboration.

With VNCphone, VNC, a developer of open source-based enterprise applications, now enables professional mobile working without spying and illegal data eavesdropping - from the hardware, operating systems, and platforms to the application modules at the application level. Currently, the market is still dominated by vendors and solutions that are questionable from a security perspective, as sensitive data is transmitted to anonymous recipients in an unsolicited and non-transparent manner each time it is used.

With VNCphone a secure alternative is now available. VNC has created its own integrated system. It extends end-to-end from the device hardware to the independence from proprietary clouds on the platform level, the VNClagoon OS as a Google-free Android operating system, and optional VPN to the pre-installed VNClagoon applications. The hardware basis of this solution is the Volla Phone, manufactured in Germany. Among other things, it is dual-boot capable, so that the user can choose between VNClagoon OS, Ubuntu Touch, a Linux-based operating system, or a normal Google Android. It is therefore perfectly suited for COPE scenarios (Corporate Owned - Personally Enabled), where devices provided by the company can also be used privately. The modular software stack VNClagoon is already preinstalled on the VNCphone. Applications like VNCtalk, VNCmail, VNCproject, or VNCtask can be activated via subscription on the VNC website and can be used immediately for mobile collaboration.

"With VNCphone, there is finally a completely secure package for professional mobile communication and collaboration. It is ideally suited for use in security-relevant environments such as in public and government institutions, in critical infrastructures or in companies that are sensitive to security issues," says Andrea Wörrlein, managing director of VNC in Berlin and member of the board of VNC AG in Zug.

With VNCworkspace, the organizational model of the respective team is mapped on the software side and a common, functionally optimized workspace is created in the shortest possible time, which facilitates teamwork, makes it more efficient and can be changed quickly if necessary. The workspace can be expanded at any time to include additional participants, functions and modules, and can also be archived for later documentation or reuse.

"To be successful, teams need to focus on the essentials. To do this, they need efficient and functionally flexible working tools. With VNCworkspace, they can quickly, easily and precisely adapt their application environment to their very specific requirements – and change it at any time if necessary," said Andrea Worrlein.

Artificial intelligence and confidential computing are in a seemingly irresolvable tension: on the one hand, AI poses a latent threat to confidential computing, but on the other hand, it can help in its implementation. The magic word for resolving this contradiction is Confidential AI. It describes a concept for dealing with AI that identifies the major uncertainty factors and makes them manageable. Data and data sovereignty come first. In addition, AI can be used in a targeted and secure manner to optimize collaboration and communication applications.

"Confidential AI gives companies and users back the sovereignty over their own data and applications. Artificial intelligence can thus be used in a secure, targeted, independent and practical way to increase productivity and job satisfaction," said Andrea Worrlein.
