3 Geo-fence Challenges Many of the organizations use combination of corporate owned and employee owned (BYOD) devices for various business purposes. Some of the risks with these devices are intentional or unintentional data loss, unproductive use of the devices and vulnerability to the internal company network. Locking down the devices completely is not always the best solution and certainly doesn t work in BYOD scenario. The best balance would be to lock down devices or apply compliances only when the devices are connected to the Wi-Fi network of the company or on a specific schedule. Solutions 1Mobility provides a comprehensive solution that extends a Wi-Fi and Time based geo-fencing solution. This allows organizations to define and apply restrictions on hardware and device features, compliances related Apps, Network configurations and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies while the devices, smartphones and tablets, are connected to corporate Wi-Fi or during work hours or specific schedule. The policies are removed when the devices are disconnected from the corporate Wi-Fi. This brings the best balance between the privacy and unrestricted benefits of the mobile devices to employees and security for organizations without any compromise. Features Define multiple fences (Wi-Fi or Time Based) Specify priority for fences in case of overlap Configure Restrictions per fence using our simple to use and intuitive web console Options to apply same or different restrictions across the fences Define restricted Apps within a fence Configurations can be defined based on the groups, locations and ownership of the devices Easy management as geo-fence configurations are part of rest of the policy definitions One click over-the-air (OTA) distribution of the geo-fence configurations through a central web console Page 3

4 Process Administrators define Wi-Fi or Time based fences and assign names to be referenced in the security policies. Include Geo-fence while configuring policies. Policies can be configured per-fence. Define separate set of Restrictions for each fence or apply same Restrictions to all fences. Define Restricted Apps for the fence to encourage productivity and safeguard Wi-Fi network. Wi-Fi Fence Define a fence based on the corporate Wi-Fi. Provide a logical name to the fence. It is recommended to define MAC address of the Wi-Fi network to uniquely identify the network. Use this fence in Device Profile configuration to specify fence based restrictions and Restricted Apps. Time Fence Define a fence based on specific schedule. Provide a logical name for the fence. Specify the Time Zone for this fence. When applying fence on the device, this Time Zone will be given priority over Time Zone of the device. Define Start Time and End Time of the fence. Daily Recurrence: The fence will be applied every day for the specified time. Weekday Recurrence: Specify the days of the week when this fence should be applied. Page 4

5 Restricted Apps Specify multiple apps that should be restricted inside the fences. For Wi-Fi based fence, if the app is running in background, the Wi-Fi is disconnected and a warning is shown to the user. If user tries to launch the Restricted App(s), a warning screen is shown to the user and the App is killed. Page 5
