MobileIron 4.5: The Most Complete Android Security Platform
MobileIron Also Announces Integrations with Samsung and Cisco
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MobileIron (http://www.mobileiron.com), the innovator in enterprise management and security for mobile devices and apps, today announced global availability of MobileIron 4.5, which provides the deepest security on the broadest set of Android devices. With support for Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and technology partnerships with Android leaders Samsung and Cisco, MobileIron gives enterprise IT departments the most complete Android security platform.
"In 2012, there will be a massive influx of Android devices into the enterprise and, as companies are planning their mobile strategies, it is important for them to know that they can count on enterprise-grade security across those devices," said Ojas Rege, VP of Products, MobileIron. "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."
MobileIron 4.5 features include:
-- Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) security: MobileIron is the first MDM
vendor to support the latest Android enterprise functionality.
-- Encryption enforcement for data at rest: With MobileIron, IT can set
encryption policies for Samsung GALAXY devices as well as those devices
running Android 3.0 and above.
-- Secure SSL VPN connectivity for data in motion: 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.
-- Exchange account configuration with certificates: 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.
-- Single MobileIron client for all Android devices: MobileIron simplifies
deployment by having a single Android client for all devices. Users do
not have to choose from multiple versions of the client to determine the
right one for their device.
-- Notification upon removal of Android administrative privileges:
MobileIron notifications are triggered if a user removes administrative
privileges. As a result, IT can detect devices that are no longer
managed and remediate accordingly.
-- Hardware lockdown: IT can disable hardware capabilities through
MobileIron by restricting camera, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth functions in high
security environments.
