NetIQ announced availability of NetIQ MobileAccess, a virtual appliance that enables convenient, secure access via a single touch from iOS or Android mobile devices to business-critical corporate services and data that employees need to remain productive. By leveraging existing employee identities and extending pre-determined policies to support today’s BYOD initiatives, NetIQ MobileAccess allows secure access from the personal mobile devices upon which today’s workforce thrives.
IT organisations can struggle with the conflicting need to tightly control access to sensitive data while staying in step with business demands for mobility solutions as well as SaaS, Web and legacy applications underpinning business processes.
IT organisations can struggle with the conflicting need to tightly control access to sensitive data while staying in step with business demands for mobility solutions as well as SaaS, Web and legacy applications underpinning business processes.
According to Forrester Research, “On average, 15% of employees are accessing sensitive data such as customer information, nonpublic financial data, intellectual property, and corporate strategy from devices other than work laptops and desktops.”[1] These devices are almost all personal and often lack basic security controls to protect data in the event the device is lost or stolen.
“The nature of the 24-7 global workforce means employees need access to business applications and data from a variety of devices,” said Ian Yip, Security Specialist, NetIQ. “Additionally, that corporate information needs to be fully accessible and secure. Both these needs can now easily be met.”
NetIQ MobileAccess provides secure direct access to corporate services and information housed in today’s rich Intranets – via single touch access from any iOS or Android mobile device.
“Studies from various analyst firms have indicated the mobile revolution will affect the Asia Pacific region more than any other. We are already seeing that emerging mobility and BYOD trends are putting extreme pressure on data security and managing access at the personal device level is proving very challenging,” continued Yip. “The best way for IT to securely extend access to critical applications is through existing defined policies, with access controls applied consistently for applications. There is no need to reinvent the wheel or take unnecessary risks with corporate data. It is far better to extend existing security controls in a way that makes it easy for the user – and NetIQ MobileAccess makes this possible.”
NetIQ MobileAccess pricing starts at $8.50 per user (including first-year maintenance). It is available worldwide and is complementary solution to NetIQ Access Manager. For more information,
