MobileIron Wins 2012 SC Award for Best Mobile Device Management

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MobileIron, the leader in security and management for mobile apps, data, and devices, today announced that it has been awarded the 2012 SC Award Europe for Best Mobile Device Management. The SC Awards Europe honour the professionals working to secure enterprises of all sizes and the vendors that deliver innovative security technologies. MobileIron was selected over several companies, including Good Technology and McAfee Enterprise Mobility Management "because of its ability to bridge the gap between the security needs of the organisation and the user experience demanded by the modern workforce."

The judges' feedback highlighted MobileIron's ability to deliver enterprise-grade security while preserving the native user experience. In particular, the judges noted:

• "This security solution provides an excellent response to the growing challenge faced by information security professionals in response to the consumerisation of IT and BYOD."
• "This is probably one of the leaders in this field. This one wins out as it allows the users to use the native apps that they want rather than the sandboxed apps."

"People buy an iPhone, iPad or Android device because that is what they want to use. When IT forces users into a container or other sort of sandbox approach, users revolt," said Bob Tinker, CEO, MobileIron. "This award is a testament to our work in solving the really hard problem of giving IT the security tools they need without interfering with the users' productivity."
