Solution: Enterprise App Store • a company’s private, branded enterprise app store; • that employees access with a native app; • to distribute & manage apps over-the-air. • Solved the Mobile App Lifecycle Management issue
But why do CIOs still choose iOS? • IT is risk adverse • “open source” is scary • Single device vendor • Developing apps for single device-UI is easiest • Data security
Why is Apple permissible? • Apple has worked directly with enterprises to meet security requirements • Offered Mobile Device Management capabilities • Controlled app distribution • Limited multi-tasking—apps cannot interact with each other or access each other’s data
Android is at a disadvantage • No clear advocate in the enterprise – who to ask for help • Open Source OS leads to unmanageable fragmentation • Varying features & no standards • Physical ports • Apps can come from anywhere • Multi-tasking
How can Android compete? • Community outlines and agrees enterprise guidelines • Standard MDM features across all Android OEM vendors • App auditing service similar to Apple • Limit fragmentation http://www.thetelecomblog.com/2011/02/15/apple-changes-strategy-to-combat-android-onslaught/
Current security strategies • Mobile Device Management • Split personalities • Virtualize OS • Sandboxing • Mobile App Management http://www.progadgetreview.com/android-wifi-security-2-3-3-version.html
