Mocana unwraps protection for iOS 7 apps
Mocana will soon allow companies to wrap iOS 7 apps in a layer of security software designed to insulate enterprise data from hackers who are becoming increasingly interested in smartphones.
“What people really care about is securing the data, and today everything is coming in and out of the applications themselves,” said Tushar Patel, senior director of products at Mocana. “So we offer this product called Mobile App Protection, and it allows you to add a protective layer to applications that you have already been developed.”
Version 2.5.6 of Mobile App Protection (MAP) includes stronger security features for apps running on iOS 7 and earlier version of the operating system. Once an application has been “wrapped,” IT staff can add policies to control things like access, encryption and the ability to copy and paste between apps.
The new version of MAP also allows the use of encrypted tunnels that secure the connection between the application itself and the enterprise network, instead of just between an iPhone running iOS 7 and the enterprise VPN gateway.
