McAfee has released its Trust Digital enterprise mobility management (EMM) platform for devices running iOS 4, Apple’s newest mobile operating system, providing an upgrade path for existing Trust Digital EMM customers.
The company said that its new platform will be delivering Mobile Device Management (MDM) capabilities. It will support devices upgraded to iOS 4, which will also be available as an upgrade to existing EMM customers.
According to McAfee, the EMM suite includes features such as transparent configuring and updating of device settings, as well as monitoring and enforcing compliance of corporate policies such as blocking modified devices, enforcing device encryption and providing wiping/locking capabilities.
In addition, EMM enables device management capabilities for administering McAfee Trust Digital managed iPhone devices that automate the connection of iPhones and other smartphone devices to enterprise services such as WiFi, VPN and email.
Todd Gebhart, executive vice president and general manager, consumer, mobile and small business at McAfee, said: "McAfee has witnessed a shift in an enterprise’s view of mobility. It’s not just about mobile email anymore – for enterprises it is now about mobile apps and the challenge to secure them and the corporate data those apps are accessing.
"The Trust Digital EMM product and the support of MDM capabilities for iOS 4 addresses that challenge today. Already we are leading the industry with a product and road map that offers enterprise-grade security and manageability."
