In my current corporate environment we us BlackBerries and a BB Enterprise Server setup, this creates a potential back door into the corporate email system if a mobile device becomes compromised. Microsoft is constantly building in more and more desktop-like functionality into it's mobile products (ie, Pocket Outlook, IE, Office, etc). So it's looking more and more like we have to secure mobile devices the same way we secure desktops, they have become viable endpoints for intrusion into networks.

So to answer your original question, here's one product for the mobile phone platform:

I can't endorse the product since I haven't had a chance to test it. But it's one of many products I'll probably start to evaluate as part of my job.
