MaaS360

The MaaS360® Mobile Device Management (SaaS) is an enterprise mobility management (EMM) platform that provides visibility and control of smartphones and tablets in the enterprise. The MaaS360 software supports devices such as iPhone, iPad, and Android. MaaS360 integrates with IBM® Security Verify, a cloud based identity and access management solution, to provide single sign-on (SSO) capabilities that ensure only trusted devices and applications can access enterprise or corporate resources.

Features

  • Single sign-on to native mobile applications, SaaS, or web based applications to boost productivity.
  • Conditional access to ensure that only trusted devices and applications can access enterprise resources.
  • Generic SAML application template to onboard any application that supports the SAML standard for single sign-on.

Prerequisite and limitations

  • Single sign-on to a native mobile application is supported by any application that supports SAML.
  • The mobile device must have at least iOS 7 or Android "Lollipop" version 5.0.
    Note: Some applications such as Google Workspace and Outlook require iOS 11.
  • The mobile device must have at least Android MaaS agent version 5.95.
  • TCP ports 88 and 89 must be accessible from your organization's network.
