Companies worry about losing mobile data via multiple avenues. Email attachments can be uploaded to Dropbox. Devices are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks if an employee connects to an unsecure Wi-Fi hotspot. Malevolent apps can extract sensitive data from corporate apps. Historically, Mobile IT has favored security over user experience. As a result, employees were forced to flip between enterprise and personal screens on their device, or use a third-party email app instead of the native experience they loved. Not only did these approaches compromise productivity, but they also created security risks as employees figured out workarounds.

MobileIron V5 eliminated the need to compromise between security and user experience by introducing three features unique to the market: Docs@Work, AppConnect, and AppTunnel. These features containerize apps, documents, email attachments, and SharePoint to provide data loss prevention (DLP) controls while preserving the native experience.

"Mobile has become a primary computing platform, and we see our customers becoming Mobile First organizations that are focused on the seamless delivery of apps, content, and tools," said Bob Tinker, CEO, MobileIron. "In a Mobile First company, experience is centered on end-users, not on devices, and security has to be invisible. MobileIron V5 delivers the first complete multi-OS enterprise persona, separating personal and professional apps and content while preserving the native mobile user experience."
