Developing, managing and securing mobile apps can be a long and grueling process. This infographic lays out the obstacles that organizations often encounter and explains how Virtual Mobile Infrastructure can provide a shortcut to BYOD success.
2. Don't Get Stuck with Costly, Intrusive,
and Incomplete Mobile Security
One or more of your employees will eventually lose their phone. To ensure that a lost phone doesn't turn into a
data breach, you need to prevent your company's sensitive data from getting into the wrong hands. While there
are solutions that allow organizations to wipe data from mobile devices, many users bristle at the thought of their
employers deleting their personal data or dictating which apps they can install on their phones.
Virtual Mobile Infrastructure (VMI) offers a solution that protects mobile data in a whole new way. VMI allows orga-
nizations to host mobile apps in a data center or in the cloud and provide access from anywhere, ensuring that data
is never stored on end user devices. Plus, developers can write apps once and instantly support virtually all types of
mobile devices as well as laptops with HTML5-enabled browsers.
VMI delivers a wide range of features to control user access and prevent data loss, such as:
• Privileged user monitoring, including detailed logging and session video recording. Monitoring is limited to
the VMI workspace, so users' personal activity outside of the VMI workspace is never captured.
• Strong encryption and multi-factor authentication. Prevent unauthorized access using client certificates and
one-time passwords. Deploy single-sign on (SSO) to allow users to log in once and access all of their apps.
• Anti-screen capture and watermarking to prevent data leaks. Stop users from copying ultra-sensitive data to
their clipboard, taking a screen shot of their apps, or downloading videos.
• Central management and patching of mobile apps to ensure that serious vulnerabilities are patched quickly.
You can also back up user data and upgrade apps without needing to track down every users' device.
