Mobile application security

MaaS360 provides a unified app catalog with built-in security and operational lifecycle management capabilities. IT can distribute, update, and manage helpful apps, while blacklisting those that are harmful or unproductive.

• Modern unified app catalog to help you streamline endpoint and mobile app deployment
• Mobile application lifecycle management to help distribute, update, manage and protect public and enterprise apps
• Compliance and enforcement to help stop data leaks
• Volume purchase program support to help manage and track bulk app licenses

MaaS360 provides a container for your enterprise and third-party public apps to deliver mobile app protection across end user devices. Through the container, you can require authentication, set up single sign-on (SSO), and configure data leak prevention (DLP) controls to avoid cutting, copying or pasting of app data.

In addition, you can wrap apps with security controls provided by the app developer or enable app security with the MaaS360 SDK to directly apply controls in the app code.

MaaS360 delivers seamless access to internal data and resources through a per-app VPN tunnel. A full device-level VPN connection is not needed, allowing for enhanced security and a better user experience on devices.

• Safeguard data in an encrypted app container with data leak controls
• Reduce opening corporate networks to devices with the VPN session enabled
• A better user experience with faster and simpler access to enterprise app data

Mobile attacks are widespread and continue to target users with attempts to steal valuable credentials. Meanwhile, organizations face rising costs as mobile data usage grows, alongside compliance and legal liability risks from shadow IT and unapproved content. To help organizations overcome these challenges, MaaS360 and Wandera now offer a combined solution for:

• Granular policy controls to risky app traffic
• Deep application risk assessment
• Detect malicious apps to stop cryptojacking and phishing attempts

With MaaS360 Identity Management, enable users to securely access enterprise apps without typing in a password every time. Also unlock security features that enforce specific conditional access rules tied to user compliance. These features help to enhance data security and enables organizations to spend less time verifying that end users and their endpoints are properly provisioned.

The app approval workflow follows a logical sequence to make sure every precaution and test is completed to get an app approved for distribution to the end-user. Third-party vendors have security and malware checks in place to review private enterprise apps. Working in conjunction with a UEM solution, it is now easier to upload, check and deploy enterprise apps to employees:

• Involve the proper stakeholders in the review and deployment process
• Use preferred third-party apps for review and approval
• Manage entire app deployment process from one place
