Securing Siebel Wireless

Siebel Wireless provides real-time wireless access to Siebel Business Applications through browser-enabled mobile devices. Siebel Wireless views rendered in XML or HTML are sent through the Web server to a wireless network and ultimately to the requestor's browser-enabled wireless device. Siebel Business Applications support the Web server.

In an environment using Siebel Wireless, the Web server and the Siebel Server reside within the firewall, thereby protecting data security. Standard protocols are used to secure browser-based data transmissions across the wireless network.

Multiple methods of securing the data are available, including the Wireless Transport Security Layer, the equivalent of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for wireless devices and third-party products. For additional information on Siebel Wireless, see Siebel Wireless Administration Guide.
