Mobile Application Management and Protection Data Sheet: Mobile Security and Management Overview provides integrated mobile application and device management capabilities for enterprise IT to ensure data security, regardless of the device, its ownership, and the apps that are being used to access the data. App Center delivers a consumer-like user experience for corporate information on both managed and unmanaged devices, without compromising information security. App Center offers advanced mobile application protection capabilities to enable mobile user productivity. Granular application-level policies can be enforced for internal applications, without any source code modifications or SDK integration. Key features App wrapping App Center provides a security wrapper for enterprise mobile applications; a simple and easy wrapping mechanism that does not require source code modifications and enables clear separation of corporate and personal data on the device. App Center can wrap a security and policy management layer around an ios or Android app, without rewriting the application or embedding an SDK. App developers can therefore focus on building the best apps for their users without worrying about app security. App protection policies include user authentication, document sharing, copy/paste capabilities, offline access, 1
controlling local data storage and encryption, secure app connectivity and SSL connection certificate management, and other policies for data protection and central management. Enterprise app store App Center enables self-service distribution of apps to employees and other authorized users with roles-based corporate security and data protection. Apps can be revoked quickly and securely when employees leave the organization or devices are no longer active with or without managing the mobile device. Symantec has designed App Center to be extremely easy to use for developers, IT administrators, and users. App Center is typically set up and configured quickly, allowing apps to be distributed with the appropriate corporate branding to employees and other authorized users. App Center app and user policy management features include: Intuitive administrative console Simple app addition, updating, and revocation Easy user onboarding Comprehensive reporting on managed app and content downloads Secure email App Center offers a secure email app that brings corporate email, calendar, contacts, and tasks to the users. IT administrators can configure secure access to email either via native email or with third-party email clients, such as Nitrodesk TouchDown and Symantec Secure Email. This enables secure mobile email delivery from mail servers, such as Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, Gmail, and Lotus Notes using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. Secure Email can be delivered without mobile device management (MDM) usage, so enterprises can deploy it with minimal impact on personal devices, while ensuring the security of corporate data. A secure email proxy provides end-to-end security for email traffic, verifying device compliance before allowing connection to the network. Secure Web Secure Web, a secure Web browser, provides safe access to internal Web-based applications and content. Employees gain anytime, anywhere access to email, calendars, contacts, tasks, notes, documents, and internal Web-based apps. To protect data in transit, a secure app proxy serves as a virtual network gateway for incoming traffic. And with Secure Web, administrators can apply data control policies, such as limiting the apps in which email attachments can be opened. Integrated threat protection App Center integrates leading-edge mobile threat protection that defends both users and the enterprise against malware, greyware, privacy risks, performance risks, fraudulent websites and other digital threats. Powered by Norton Mobile Insight, a dynamic intelligence system that analyzes more than 30,000 apps each day and 200 app stores worldwide, including Google Play, Symantec s mobile threat protection applies real-world information on actual behaviors to protect privacy, detect malware, and mitigate performance risks such as battery drain. Mobile threat protection is centrally managed through the App Center console where administrators can set threat compliance requirements and remediation. Device management App Center also integrates MDM capabilities, providing increased visibility and control over smartphones and tablets. It enables devices to access key corporate assets, such as enterprise Wi-Fi, VPN, secure email, native email, and calendar apps for corporate email accounts. It ensures corporate compliance by enabling advanced security settings on devices and allowing 2
the enterprise to locate, lock, and wipe the device. App Center can also leverage the latest ios 7 settings, Apple s updated Volume Purchase Program, and per-app settings. Authentication and single sign-on App Center provides authentication for the App Center portal and wrapped apps, as well as integrated single sign-on functionality across the wrapped in-house and third-party apps. App Center leverages popular authentication methods, such as Active Directory, LDAP, SAML, and Symantec O3 Web gateway. Certificate distribution management App Center integrates with Symantec MPKI to provide simple and secure distribution of security certificates to mobile devices for use in enabling more secure access to VPNs, Wi-Fi, and Exchange ActiveSync services. With integrated MPKI, administrators can now distribute and manage certificates for mobile users without requiring interaction with end users. Secure app connectivity App Center can enforce a secure SSL connection for wrapped apps and block the apps from going to unauthorized or malicious websites. This app wrap policy can mandate an SSL connection to ensure information security for HTTP data-in-transit. A secure app proxy protects data in transit with per-app SSL, FIPS 140-2 tunnels, separating corporate and personal traffic and simplifying compliance by controlling app communication without requiring a device-level VPN or firewall modifications. App security policies App Center provides the capability for mobile administrators to wrap a layer of security and policy management around an ios or Android app, without requiring additional coding. The developer simply uses an existing.ipa (ios) or.apk (Android) target or Web app. The IT administrator creates policies and chooses the policies to be applied to the app. App Center automatically unpacks, updates, and repacks the apps with a policy management layer prior to the app distribution process. At runtime on the user device, this layer then automatically enforces policies such as: Granular security for apps and content User authentication, re-authentication, and single sign-on Data encryption (FIPS-certified algorithms) Local data storage policy control Enabling offline access Enabling document sharing, copy/paste, or other APIs Additionally, since all corporate app data written locally is managed by an app-level policy, an administrator can revoke both the app code and corporate data on demand, without affecting the user s personal data on the device, with or without MDM. Content distribution App Center provides an easy way for administrators to distribute content to end-user mobile devices. Administrators can distribute documents and multimedia content in different file formats to ios and Android devices. For ios devices, IT can apply appropriate file-level security policies. Content management features include: Intuitive administrative console Expire, update, and revoke content seamlessly Notifications for content updates 3
Key benefits App Center enables secure distribution of apps, data, and content files, with appropriate corporate security and branding wrappers, to employees and other authorized users. Apps, data, and content files can be revoked quickly when users or devices are no longer authorized. App Center provides the ability to wrap a layer or security and policy management around an ios or an Android app, without any additional source code modifications or SDK embedding. With App Center, administrators and app developers do not have to be security experts to deliver secure enterprise apps, nor do they have to manage the device. App Center offers a simple, intuitive user experience that is similar to the native experience offered by popular mobile platforms. This leads to rapid adoption with reduced IT support to enable productivity. Symantec Sealed Program The Symantec Sealed Program enables enterprises to confidently embrace third-party mobile apps while meeting data security requirements. The apps in the Sealed Program have been wrapped with a layer of security and management, allowing IT to define granular policies, such as encryption, authentication, and data-sharing restrictions. It delivers an ecosystem of trusted and secure third-party mobile apps, allowing you to provide a protected mobile workspace and fulfill the promise of mobile productivity.
