Mocana extends mobile app security offering to iOS

10.04.2012

MAP 2.0 is capable of encrypting data-at-rest with FIPS 140-2 level 1 security, even if the app being modified didn't have built-in security in the first place. IT administrators can also use MAP 2.0 to put any app behind a passphrase authentication prompt or impose secure cut, copy, and paste to prevent data from being shared outside an app. MAP can create separate VPN tunnels for individual apps, preventing potential rogue apps from gaining access to a network. Mocana says MAP can rapidly add new security policies--geo-fencing that allows an app to only work within a specified location or time and date limitations that restrict apps to business hours--depending on what an enterprise needs.

Mocana offers MAP 2.0 on both subscription and perpetual licensing models; companies can also pay on a per-device or per-app basis. The update is available now to customers participating in Mocana's Early Adopter Program.
