2. BYOD Access Is a Reality
95% of organizations allow employee-owned devices “in some way
shape or form”1
44% of job seekers prefer employers that support BYOD policies2
$950 - $3,150 per U.S. employee per year can be saved by
implementing a BYOD program through increased productivity3

4. VDI Isn’t the Solution for BYOD
Expensive
VDI Shortcomings
– Not designed for touch
– No multimedia redirection
– No access to camera,
printer, video, GPS
Total cost for Microsoft
VDI, Citrix, and hardware
is $1,000+ per user1
Not designed for
cellular edge, 3G
networks
1 Microsoft Desktop OS $187 per user, Citrix $300/user

5. Risks of Uncontrolled Devices
Weak
Encryption
No support for
strong
authentication

No auditing of

7. Virtual Mobile Infrastructure (VMI)
VMI is a service that hosts mobile apps or full
operating systems on remote servers
Provide remote access to:
 Android, Apple iOS and Windows
Phone with client apps
 Any HTML 5-enabled device
Centralize app management to:
 Eliminate need to install and
upgrade apps on every device

SierraVMI:
• Records mobile app access
• Stores app data securely in the data center
• IT can centrally upgrade mobile apps

10. Architecture #1: Mobile App Virtualization
VMI Security
Gateway Clients
Authentication
Server
Benefits
 Very high density
 Apps can share resources like GPU
 Easy to manage
 No need for expensive storage
Considerations
 Cannot define hardware
resources per session

Benefits
 Each user can install their own apps
 Android equivalent to desktop

SierraVMI and the 5 Pillars of Mobile
Security
How SierraVMI addresses mobile security requirements for compliance
Transmission
Security
Integrity
Person or
Entity
Authentication
Enforce
consistent
multi-factor
authentication
for all apps
Granularly
control access;
back up files
on server to
prevent
accidental
deletion
Centrally
manage access
controls for all
apps; assign
policies based
on LDAP/AD
groups
Audit mobile
activity with
detailed logs
and session
recordings
Use 4096-bit
encryption and
client cert
authentication
for all mobile
apps

13. Monitor User and Application Activity
 Dashboard of
system status
 Detailed logs
of user activity
 Geo-tracking

14. User Monitoring
 Record user
sessions for
forensics
 Allow admins
to view up to 8
live sessions

15. Prevent Data Loss
 Watermarking deters users
from photographing screens
– Watermark all content including
documents, video, pictures with
no additional overhead
 Anti-screen capture prevents
users from taking screenshots
 With VMI, no data is
downloaded to the phone
– Users cannot copy and paste text

16. Securely Store and Distribute Content
Share sensitive videos using
multi-media redirection
– Ensure users do not capture
or download files
– Watermark images & videos
Store files on data center
servers, not users’ devices

17. Strong Authentication
Prevent unauthorized access with:
– Client certificates
– One-time password (sent via text message)
– Restricting access based on geographic location
– Brute force login protection
Ensure only legitimate users
access your data

18. Single Sign-on to Ease Management
 Integrate with LDAP, Active
Directory or SAML
 Access email, calendar,
contacts, and business apps
without needing to re-
authenticate
 Automate app provisioning
 Reduce IT helpdesk calls due
to forgotten passwords
 Improve user experience by
eliminating extra login steps
IT Cost ReductionDirectory Services Integration

19.  Centralized data storage
 Prevent data loss from device theft
 Centralized patch management
 Eliminate concerns of devices with vulnerable or unpatched software
 Regularly scan Android server for viruses and vulnerabilities
Simplify and Secure Mobile App Management

20. Before VMI With VMI
 Companies rely on heavy-handed
MDM features like remote wipe
to prevent data loss
 Each app has different encryption
and authentication capabilities
 Limited ability to monitor mobile
user access to business apps
 Remote VPN access to network
resources difficult to restrict or
audit
 Companies must develop mobile
apps for iOS, Android, Windows
Phone, Blackberry
 Data is never downloaded to
mobile devices
 All apps support multi-factor
auth, strong encryption & SSO
 Optional logging and video
recording of privileged users
 Granular control and monitoring
of remote access from mobile
apps
 Companies can develop an app
for Android and support all
devices
