“Our goals from day one have been mobile security, solution functionality and flexibility in architecture,” said Jonas Gyllensvaan, president and CEO of SyncDog. “In addition to building the industry’s most secure mobile workspace, we also had the foresight to understand that SentinelSecure™ needed to be highly interoperable for MDM and EMM connectivity. This approach has served us well for day-one operational support within a totally new OS such as Apple’s iOS 10.”
SyncDog’s announcement for support for iOS 10 comes on the heels of announcing the general availability of its flagship mobile app container SentinelSecure™ version 2.5, at CTIA Mobility Week in Las Vegas last week. SentinelSecure™ version 2.5 features a host of security enhancements including FIPS 140-2 certification, additional applications added to the secure mobile workspace, certified integration with MobileIron MDM (Mobile Device Management), and other Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) providers.
This newest build of SentinelSecure™ is fully compatible with iOS 10 and has been designed to address four main workflows for users accessing network file stores and applications from mobile sources:
Secure Communications
Secure File Management
Secure Internet/Intranet Access
Secure Location-based Services
NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) has certified that SyncDog’s encryption engine within the container meets Federal Information Processing Standards or FIPS 140-2 requirements (Cert. #2687).
