iOS Device Feature Control |
For security-conscious organizations and environments where privacy and information security concerns require controlling the unauthorized transfer of mobile data out of the mobile devices, MobiControl provides various on-device feature controls including the capability to block various device communications, similar to firewall functionality. MobiControl's device features control policy allows IT administrators to selectively disable device features. Applying the policy at the individual or group level allows custom profiles for different users and locations in an organization. The ability to disable or enable Bluetooth and infrared ports allows controlling whether end users can beam business cards, applications or documents to one another.
