MobileIron, the
innovator in enterprise management and security for mobile devices and apps,
announced new Android security platform, MobileIron 4.5.
MobileIron
partnered with Android leaders Samsung and
Cisco to provide enterprise IT departments the most complete Android security
platform. With MobileIron, IT can set encryption policies for Samsung GALAXY
devices as well as those devices running Android 3.0 and above. MobileIron
4.5 also supports Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).
MobileIron has
tested and certified the Cisco Cius, an Android-based mobile collaboration
platform built for business. MobileIron’s Cius support enables enterprise IT
departments to integrate Cius into their fleet of mobile devices, unifying
security, email access and app distribution.
MobileIron is
the first MDM vendor to deliver an enterprise VPN experience for Android. Via
integration with Cisco AnyConnect, IT can centrally provision the AnyConnect
VPN client through MobileIron, including certificates for authentication and
security.
For Samsung
GALAXY S II, GALAXY Tab 8.9 / 10.1 and GALAXY Note, IT can authenticate device
posture and user identity using certificates with MobileIron. This allows
end-users to utilize the native e-mail, contacts, calendar, and tasks apps,
thereby preserving the user experience.
MobileIron has
integrated with the Enterprise SDK provided by Samsung to deliver key security
features for Android, including setting encryption policies, Exchange account
configurations with certificates, and restrictions for camera, Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth.
By having a
single Android client for all devices, MobileIron allows users to choose the
right one for their device.
With
notification upon removal of Android administrative privileges, IT can
detect devices that are no longer managed and remediate accordingly. MobileIron
IT can disable hardware capabilities through by restricting camera, Wi-Fi, and
Bluetooth functions in high security environments.
“Android
adoption is accelerating, but IT has been worried about data loss and the cost
of fragmentation. With MobileIron 4.5, we are unifying the Android enterprise
ecosystem for IT by securing data at rest and data in motion. Now, IT can
deploy Android with confidence,” said Ojas Rege, VP of Products,
MobileIron.
