To "PUSH" means to send data or configurations to an employee's device WITHOUT the employee having to take an action. MobileIron pushes security settings, application configurations and profiles. Note that no management PLATFORM can push applications to iOS or Android devices without the user’s permission, though MobileIron does publish the catalog of available apps to the user and then provisions the app at the user’s request.

"Over the air" is remote configuration with no physical CONNECTION from the EMPLOYEE device to a computer server. Any data transfer occurs over WIRELESS (WiFi or 3G). In this MODE MobileIron can provision, wipe, encrypt and lock phones, but cannot backup data or upgrade the OS. This limitation is in the process of being ADDRESSED by various OS vendors.

On platforms like IOS and Android, MobileIron makes AVAILABLE a client application that resides on the employee's device. The application allows employee access to MyPhone@Work, enabling the employee to communicate with IT, but also provides real-time application, USAGE, and SECURITY insight into the phone.

Where possible, the application runs unobtrusively in the background. Battery impact, space and memory usage are nominal. Since many platforms do not prevent application removal, the MobileIron VSP automatically notifies an IT administrator if the client application has been removed from the employee's phone.

Standalone Sentry SITS inline between the mobile device and the email server. It may be deployed as either a virtual or physical APPLIANCE. Integrated Sentry, which only supports Exchange 2007 and 2010, does not sit inline and is instead installed on the ActiveSync server. For most customers, standalone Sentry is the PREFERRED option because it provides GREATER access control across a greater variety of email systems.

The Standalone Sentry acts as a proxy between clients and the mail infrastructure.

Integrated Sentry is a Windows service that connects the Microsoft Exchange Server ActiveSync service and the Mobile Iron VSP.

The Integrated Sentry can be installed on a Windows 7 or Windows 2008R2 server, or a Windows 2003 server with Power shell 2.0 and .NET 3.5 installed. There is no need for Exchange Management tools to be installed on that machine. However, you need to set up a local or remote support depending on the targeted server (i.e., Local Exchange).

No, because most operating systems do not allow it. It is not in the interest of the OS vendor to restrict what APPLICATIONS can be INSTALLED on the device. Instead, MobileIron allows monitoring of applications that are installed on a device and inform administrators and users of non-compliance. The VSP comes pre-loaded with certain bad strings (like "porn") and disallow apps with those titles.

Please note that web-clips are not applications, though they appear similar; web-clips, in CONTRAST to apps, MAY be FORCIBLY removed or installed at will.

No, because most operating systems do not allow it. Instead, the MobileIron solution allows for real-time insight into operating system version (and policy compliance, including WHETHER a phone is jailbroken/rooted) and informs administrators of non-compliance.

HOWEVER, administrators can set POLICIES based on OS version and block certain versions from ACCESSING enterprise RESOURCES.

Lockdown security models fail in mobile because they DAMAGE the user EXPERIENCE. MOBILEIRON introduces a less autocratic and more sustainable model of security: IT sets the CENTRAL POLICY and then monitors devices for compliance. When a device falls out of compliance, IT can take several remediation actions including notifying the user, blocking access to the enterprise, or wiping the mobile device.

An enterprise app store is similar to other app stores, but tailor-made to the needs of a corporation by providing a centralized location for business applications. These applications can be ones that are already readily available in other app stores, or ones that have been CREATED by the enterprise for internal use.

When the enterprise app store is on a REGISTERED device and tied to a specific user, not only can the user discover applications easily, but they can ALSO be notified of the APPS that are APPROPRIATE while keeping inappropriate ones from the user.

An application (or agent) is a piece of software that is installed on a user’s DEVICE. In order to detect jailbroken DEVICES — and thus keep corporate data SECURE — smart devices must have an agent on the device itself, and the agent must be part of the registration PROCESS to ensure that the agent and device is identified with a specific enterprise user.

The agent also can check the device and analyze its current state, monitoring for compliance with corporate policies. Without an agent, the device could be compliant during the initial registration process but non-compliant later. Based on the current state of the device, the agent can block the device from corporate resources and SEND alerts.

To jailbreak (or ROOT) a phone CIRCUMVENTS the built-in security and PROTECTION of the operating system, opening up the phone to malware and unsupported USES. Jailbroken devices also ALLOW any application to be installed on the phone and malicious applications to steal contacts and corporate data.

“Native experience” refers to the PARTICULAR design choices, user interaction paradigms, and feature sets chosen by operating system developers to promote and enhance their respective platforms. It is these “native” features that make a Blackberry a Blackberry and an iPhone an iPhone.

A crucial factor in the use and adoption of mobile TECHNOLOGY are these individual design decisions and interfaces chosen by operating system developers and embraced by users.

For example the native experience of the iPhone includes the Apple email app for COMMUNICATION, the Safari app for browsing, the iTunes app for media, and the ability to download a wide range of other apps to the device. If the user can’t use these features, they can’t take ADVANTAGE of the full potential of the device and will generally be unhappy.

There are mobile device management solutions that do not preserve the native experience because they create an artificial, closed environment on the device. Users are forced to use enterprise CAPABILITIES only within this closed environment -- email, browsing and apps are limited to what’s in this walled garden, detracting from the user experience. In addition, these “container-based” solutions often don’t follow industry standards.

Docs@Work provides VPN-less access to corporate content repositories like SharePoint via the MobileIron Sentry. End-users have SEAMLESS connectivity to enterprise resources behind the firewall. TRADITIONAL VPN clients require end-users to manually establish a remote CONNECTION to the enterprise to access corporate resources. In addition to seamless access, Docs@Work also provides additional security. Since Docs@Work connects to the intranet via MobileIron Sentry, other applications on the device cannot access sensitive corporate information. Traditional device level VPNs provide device level access to corporate resources. Once the VPN tunnel is ESTABLISHED any application on the device can access sensitive corporate resources.
