BARCELONA, Spain, March 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- (Mobile World
Congress) – Good Technology™, the leader in secure mobility, today
announced the next wave of innovative new updates to Good Work™
that are enabling businesses and entire industries to transform how
they securely connect, communicate and collaborate. Today's
announcements include a simple, single interface for business apps
with Good Launcher™, fast, secure application access through Apple
Touch ID and secure enterprise support for wearables. These
solutions are available now on Good Work and further enhance Good's
position as the leading mobile innovator.
"With each new generation of devices and applications,
enterprise mobility is being redefined, and business users are
expecting new functionality to make them more efficient and
successful at work," said Christy
Wyatt, chairman and CEO at Good Technology. "As a pioneer in
the EMM space, our latest version of Good Work delivers innovations
that reshape what the secure mobile work experience looks like on
multiple form factors, including smartphones, tablets and now
wearables and the Internet of Things."
Good Launcher – the New Business Desktop
Good Launcher
is the new business desktop, providing users with access to all the
apps they need while mobile with the push of a single button. The
simple interface gives users navigational control of Good Work with
one-touch toggling between email, calendar, contacts and documents.
Additionally, Good Launcher enables users with access to all Good
apps including Good Access™, Good Connect™, Good Share™ and Good
for Salesforce1 or any of the over 1,600 customer-developed Good
apps.
Fast, Secure Access to Good-Secured Apps with Apple Touch
ID
Some of the most desired consumer features available on
mobile devices can also compromise corporate security. Now, Good
bridges these two concerns with support for application access via
the Apple Touch ID feature on iOS 8 devices. With IT administrator
policy enablement, users can enjoy fast access to any Good-secured
app using their fingerprints on Apple smartphones and tablets with
supporting hardware without compromising Good's container security.
As part of the Good Trusted Authentication Framework (TAF), this
capability is also available to developers building applications on
the Good Dynamics® Secure Mobility Platform.
Delivering the First Secure Container for Wearables and
IoT
As wearables and the Internet of Things become more
prevalent, companies face the same security challenges they already
face with smartphones and tablets being brought into their
workforces. Today, Good also announced that it is the only
enterprise mobility management (EMM) vendor providing secure data
and content access on wearables through the Good Dynamics
Platform.
Good Dynamics ensures security and protection of business data
accessed by and stored on wearables and shared between other
Good-secured apps. This opens up almost limitless possibilities for
wearables to be used for two-factor authentication or access
control to Good Work or any other Good-secured app running on a
smartphone. For example, a nurse might access patient data remotely
on a mobile app only after second factor authentication via her
smartwatch. In other cases, a fitness band might be used as an
additional means of access control for restricted building
access.
Today, Good is enabling a new era of productivity for business
with secure access to corporate email and calendars on paired
wearable devices through Good Work. Support for Android Wear with
Good Work brings a broad range of interaction and collaboration to
the wrist. Users can receive push notifications, accept or reject
meeting requests, and respond to emails using voice recognition or
preset responses all from the wearable. Centralized policy controls
allow IT departments to enable or disable wearable capabilities for
Good Work and for any other Good-secured app built on the Good
Dynamics platform.
