Accellion, Inc., the pioneer in providing enterprise-class, secure mobile productivity solutions, recently announced new enhanced features for mobile management and device control. Accellion now provides IT and security organisations with selective remote wipe, whitelisted mobile apps and strengthened IT admin controls, enhancing the security of business-sensitive information, while complying with industry data security regulations.
The Accellion enhanced remote wipe feature gives administrators device-level management not previously offered by a mobile productivity solution, to further ensure the security of an organisation’s data. This feature addresses two common security scenarios. The first is if a device is lost or stolen the Accellion remote wipe feature only targets business data held in the encrypted Accellion file container, employees who have their mobile content wiped will not lose any personal information, or have their device reset to factory settings. Considering that more than 8,000 mobile devices were left in top airports over the span of a year, this is a critical function for organisations to have at their disposal. The second is if an employee leaves the company an IT admin can wipe data at the individual level, which is essential if the user shared a machine with other employees.
