MobileIron integrates with
Zebra Technologies’ LifeGuard
for Android solution
obileIron has announced that
it has integrated with Zebra
Technologies’ LifeGuard
Over the Air (OTA) for Android security
solution, providing robust security and
management while enabling front-line
workers with secure mobile productivity
on their Zebra enterprise-class devices.
M
LifeGuard for Android, a security lifecycle
offering for enterprise-class mobile
computers, extends the service life of
Zebra’s Android-based devices with
extended security support, predictable
periodic security updates and legacy
operating system (OS) security support,
helping businesses significantly lower the
total cost of ownership.
“To stay productive, front-line workers
need seamless and secure access
to business resources from their
mobile devices, wherever they work,”
said Brian Foster, SVP of Product
Management at MobileIron.
“With this integration, organisations
can achieve complete control over
their business data with a mobile-
centric, zero trust security platform that
supports front-line worker productivity. IT
administrators can ensure that Zebra’s
Android-based enterprise devices are
always in a consistent and secure state,
while front-line workers can quickly
access business apps and content. It’s a
win-win situation.”
As traditional network perimeters
become obsolete, organisations require
a mobile-centric, zero trust approach
that validates every front-line worker
device, establishes user context, checks
app authorisation, verifies the network
and detects and remediates threats
58
before granting secure access to a
device or user.
MobileIron’s unified endpoint management
(UEM) platform allows for continuous
enforcement and protection of data,
both on the device and on the network,
resulting in a secure mobile work
experience and increased productivity.
The new end-to-end solution by
MobileIron and Zebra supports device
level configurations using Zebra’s
OEMConfig powered by Mx, enabling
immediate support for new Zebra
management APIs.
In the future, the solution will support
firmware over-the-air (FOTA) updates,
enabling IT administrators to effortlessly
enforce critical new updates for front-line
workers using Zebra’s Android-based
enterprise-class devices.
“Our relationship with MobileIron
will enable our mutual customers to
manage OS updates and security
patches seamlessly using their UEM
Console,” said Gopi Polavarapu, Senior
Director of Product Management, Zebra
Technologies. “IT administrators can
better protect their operations from
security breaches by using MobileIron’s
UEM Platform to gain visibility into
security vulnerabilities and accessing
Zebra LifeGuard updates in real time and
remotely updating their devices over the
air (OTA).” u
