MOUNTAIN VIEW, California,
March 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- MobileIron (NASDAQ:MOBL), the security backbone for
the digital enterprise, announced today that MobileIron Access has
been shortlisted for Best Mobile Security Solution by the SC Awards
Europe.
Business data accessed from the cloud via mobile apps and
browsers is vulnerable to compromise. MobileIron Access is the
critical security link, acting as a gate on the authentication path
between the user and the cloud.
Existing security platforms are optimised either for mobile
using enterprise mobility management (EMM), or for cloud using
Identity Access Management (IAM) tools or cloud access security
brokers (CASB). EMM cannot prevent users from accessing cloud
services via unmanaged apps or browsers. Neither IAMs nor CASBs can
allow or deny access based on the state of the mobile app or
device. This is where MobileIron Access stands apart.
Here are examples of the security risks that MobileIron Access
solves:
- Jailbroken phone: An employee uses Office 365
mobile app to access business data on a jailbroken smartphone.
Business data is now on a hacked device.
- Unmanaged device: A salesperson downloads
Salesforce1 app to their spouse's iPad. Business data is now on an
unsecured device.
- Parasite app: A salesperson downloads one of the
dozens of apps that use APIs to connect to the salesforce.com cloud
service. Business data is now in an unauthorised mobile app.
In each of the above scenarios, the cloud service cannot
determine if the device or app is non-compliant. MobileIron Access
does this by ensuring that only trusted apps on trusted devices can
access Microsoft Office 365, Salesforce, and other business cloud
services.
The SC Awards Europe, hosted by SC Magazine, highlight
excellence across the cybersecurity sector. The SC Awards Europe
were created to encourage and praise innovation, recognise those
who raise the bar, and reward businesses that facilitate best
practice.
The winners will be chosen by an independent panel of judges,
made up of leading information security professionals, and will be
announced at the SC Awards Europe Gala and Dinner on 6 June 2017 at the Old Billingsgate, London.
