There are the corporate portals for wireless devices. We are testing now the Nokia Business-1 appliance, which allows all our corporate users to connect to internal resources using browser-enabled devices (phones, PDAs, pocket PCs, blackberry devices, etc...). This appliance incorporates smart tools for re-paginating the data transfers to your device to match your LCD screen size, and this applies to e-mail, static/dynamic web page content, as well as all types of known file formats (including PDF). But this was only the selling point for our sales engineers and upper management; the device has (first of all) a secured kernel of Linux tailored by Nokia to match the requirements for the scope of this appliance; it incorporates VPN and firewall capabilities, it integrates with any in-house user authentication scheme you might have, and also provides IPS/IDS capabilities for your traffic. Such an appliance/solution (I'm not saying Nokia is the only seller for such a solution) c! ould provide security for your internal resources. If you choose to provide a split-like VPN tunnel to your wireless users, then they will have to secure their own Internet connection. But I am not aware of any end-system (like pocket PC or PDA) to act as a wireless device IDS.
