Here is an article I wrote on PDA security last year that might help:
PDA Security 101
http://www.intranetjournal.com/articles/200304/ij_04_07_03a.html
There is a listing of some PDA security vendors in the article. There are
even more than what I have listed in the article but the ones I listed
seemed to be the major players from what I could tell.

Personally, I'd wait a while. Currently, there's basically zero threat
for Pocket PCs. It's not at all clear if they'll gain enough success to
make widespread attacks worth-while, and until that happens, the validity
of any protection will be questionable (it's only been recently that PC or
"Personal" firewalls have become necessary enough for them to be exercised
and their issues found.)
I'd be in almost any enterprise, there are more significant targets that
should get the attention.
