Mobiquant technologies has launched iPhortress, said to be the first appliance dedicated for the management and security of iPhone and iPad fleets with minimal deployment, integration and maintenance costs. iPhortress is said to enable enterprises to centrally manage the professional use of iPhones or iPads by the employees, either corporation or individual-owned.
The latest iPhone and iPad are packed with business-oriented features and new applications and, as a consequence, employees are increasingly bringing their own device to work. However, the lack of internalized security solutions challenges the ability of IT Departments to integrate employees’ iPhones or iPads into the company infrastructure.
Enterprises are thus in a difficult position, having to choose between employee’s need satisfaction and lowering risks to the enterprise posed by smartphones and their ability to store enterprise data or access the enterprise infrastructure.
iPhortress is said to solve this dilemma. With iPhortress security managers can afford to provide device and security management for employees’ iPhones and iPads centrally and remotely. iPhortress enables remote installation, automated enrolment, provisioning of devices all over the air to improve employees and IT administrators productivity . Building on Mobiquant’s multi-award winning Mobile MobileNX Smart Engine, iPhortress combines the CIO/CSO endorsed technology with usability approaches for a plug and play installation in the existing infrastructure that can be completed in less than an hour.
