iOS Application Run Control |
The easy availability of applications—games, consumer-oriented utilities and third party tools—for mobile devices results in end users installing and running unauthorized personal programs and recreational software on devices meant for business use. In addition to contributing to memory and battery life overhead, this situation also contributes to productivity losses. The installation of unauthorized and unapproved non-business applications contributes to a significantly higher volume of support calls, increasing the IT help desk's support burden. Most critically, it is imperative for security-conscious users to control and restrict the unauthorized installation of personal applications to ensure compliance with strict mobile data protection requirements.
MobiControl's application run control features reduce the risk of leakage of sensitive data and complement the existing network security model by preventing the introduction of malware and viruses into the network through the mobile devices. Additionally, it also allows memory management on the mobile devices to free up resources taken up by unnecessary processes, and allowing for better device performance. MobiControl integrates tightly with the operating system to prevent restricted applications from running entirely on the mobile device, making it much more efficient than competing white list and black list solutions which use CPU and battery-consuming processes to monitor for and destroy restricted applications.
