Utimaco is one of a number of niche mobile security software vendors addressing the protection of data resident on mobile computing devices, and competes against the likes of Certicom, Pointsec, F-Secure, Trust Digital, and Asynchrony Solutions.

Utimaco’s SafeGuard PDA system and the associated SafeGuard PrivateCrypto module is closest in design to F-Secure’s FileCrypto, but Utimaco’s product is distinguished by offering both PIN and biometric access control via signature recognition.
