Box Adds Secure Mobile Collaboration To MobileIron AppConnect Ecosystem

PRESS RELEASE

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- As mobile becomes a primary computing platform, companies want to make employees productive using mobile apps and devices while making sure that enterprise data is secure. With the addition of Box to the MobileIron AppConnect ecosystem, businesses can now provide employees with secure content sharing and collaboration across mobile devices. Employees can safely access content from their personal mobile device in a secure, encrypted container. Mobile IT can protect app data-at-rest and data-in-motion and control the flow of content out of Box. The new integration also allows Mobile IT to revoke access to Box immediately if an employee leaves the company or if the mobile device falls out of compliance with the organization's security policies.

"Content is the lifeblood of an organization and needs to be delivered securely to mobile devices. With Box joining the AppConnect ecosystem, mobile and cloud collaboration can now truly intersect without compromising enterprise security or user experience."

Box for MobileIron AppConnect ensures that:

productivity apps in a secure and controlled app environment.

-- Enforce Data Loss Prevention policies, remote wipe, and access

permissions by keeping Box and other apps centrally managed through

MobileIron.
