Security Considerations This is a subtitle or bulleted list
Security Available Security for mobile devices should be important for every organization and depending on the organization, the need for different layers of security is required BI MAD will become an extension of your Oracle BI Enterprise Edition, as such, if you ve implemented the following security features, they ll be available to the mobile device using MAD HTTPS encryption Single Sign-On (would require registration of MAD as a partner application with your single sign-on provider) Just as when accessing remotely from your laptop, you will need a VPN client on your device when not directly connected to your network
Additional Security Organizations who require extra layers of security may already have a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution especially if a BYOD policy is already in place Important features an MDM solution should have Encryption Authentication Locking and Wiping Multiple Platform Support Data Separation
