Soonr Workplace Extends Enterprise Mobile Control Features
Soonr, a leading provider of secure File Sharing and Collaboration services for business, today announced that the Soonr Workplace™ Enterprise now includes powerful new capabilities for managing mobile device access and functions, as well as policy-based management for access control, sharing, and security. Soonr Workplace Enterprise offers organizations the most extensive management, control, and security options available, while still providing the simplicity and access desired by users.
“IT Managers need to have confidence in the security of company data when businesses deploy mobile devices broadly,” said Victoria Grey, chief marketing officer. “Soonr enables mobile productivity better than anyone, and Soonr Workplace Enterprise now has added additional access control and policies that protect vital company assets while remaining simple for user productivity.”
“Enterprises are in danger of losing control as the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend has exploded,” said Alan Pelz-Sharpe, senior analyst, The 451 Group. “Now businesses can have the visibility, control, and management of every laptop, smartphone, and tablet while users enjoy the benefits of mobile access.”
Device Management and Control
Mobile Device Access Log shows the date, time, location, app version, user identity, and IP address of every access event from all mobile devices, as well as the immediate deletion of any device from the service in the event it’s lost or stolen. Device hardware and software details are available, with the ability to view all historical and real-time access events on a map together with related service provider information.
Mobile Device Policies allow the Soonr Enterprise Admin to set global policies on the ability to create content, edit content, and export content to third party applications on mobile devices, eliminating the risk of confidential business data leaking to unintended apps or web sites.
Mobile App Access Code allows the Soonr Enterprise Admin to require a 4-digit access code to open the Soonr Workplace Mobile App on iOS, Android, Blackberry, and Windows Phone smartphones and tablets. This added layer of access control can also be used to wipe clean Soonr documents cached on the device, after a set number of unsuccessful access attempts.
New Devices Tab in UI allows users and administrators to see and manage all enabled devices, and includes multi-select capabilities for management of a large number of files.
Policy-based Management and Control
Team Policies allow the Soonr Enterprise Admin to set global policies for enabling or disabling Public Links for sharing documents, and restricting who may unlock documents for editing when they have been locked by other team members.
Password Policies allow the Soonr Enterprise team Admin to set global policies for password expiration, re-use cycle times, recent interval, complexity, and the number of failed login attempts allowed after which a remote wipe may be performed on mobile devices.
Session Policies allow the Soonr Enterprise Admin to specify global session timeout, remember-me, and IP address display policies to comply with company security practices and procedures.
Access Control (IP Address White List) Policies allow the Soonr Enterprise Admin to place restrictions on access the service. For example, login can be restricted based upon a combination of the mode of access (browser, mobile app, desktop agent) and location (source IP address). This policy can be used to restrict access to business content to only VPN connected devices if required.
Remote Access Policy allows the Soonr Enterprise Admin to set a policy on enabling or disabling remote access, preventing remote login to computers from outside the office and also limiting access only to the documents that are intentionally synced with other computers or the Soonr cloud.
