datasheet Trend Micro™ Safe Mobile Workforce Innovative Virtual Security for Mobile Users Key Benefits Mobile devices, including employee-owned phones and tablets, are by now fully embedded in the fabric of modern business. The ability of workers to access corporate data and applications in the field, using any device, is a competitive necessity. This development brings obvious security concerns. Devices may be lost or stolen, and the data stored on them may be compromised any time the user visits the wrong site or activates a malicious app. And users themselves can put data in jeopardy by sharing inappropriately or syncing to unsecured cloud services. Until now, effective security for mobile devices could only be achieved through the use of intrusive, heavy-handed mobile solutions that leave users unsatisfied and unlikely to comply with security guidelines—while adding complex, time-consuming IT management tasks. And even with these in place, there is still an inherent risk in the fact that sensitive data is stored on the mobile device. Trend Micro Safe Mobile Workforce takes a different approach. Rather than allow sensitive data to reside on mobile devices, and burdening the data, the device, and the user with restrictive security measures, Safe Mobile Workforce lets users simply open an iOS or Android app and get immediate access to corporate resources through a Virtual Mobile Infrastructure (VMI). All data and applications remain safely on company servers, while a hosted Android OS delivers a familiar, intuitive virtual workspace. This innovative approach serves to keep corporate and personal data and applications completely separate. The device itself and the user’s personal data and applications are not affected in any way, ensuring that users do not experience Safe Mobile Workforce as intrusive or heavy-handed. And when users log into their corporate workspace, the use of “client-side rendering” optimizes bandwidth use and ensures fast, responsive interaction. At the same time, Safe Mobile Workforce allows IT administrators to retain complete control of corporate data assets, which never leave their servers. In addition, the solution’s central management console makes it easy to define user or group profiles and to provision them with appropriate applications and data-access permissions— dramatically reducing management costs compared to other solutions. •• Dramatically improves security by ensuring sensitive data and apps are only stored on secure servers •• Improves employee satisfaction, compliance, and productivity by enabling remote access to resources without affecting or restricting personal use of the same device •• Lets employees use familiar, widely available apps for work, rather than proprietary apps •• Eliminates the security threat of stolen devices, since data and apps are not stored directly on the device •• Reduces costs by letting administrators centrally configure and automatically provision applications without an enterprise app storefront Part of a comprehensive user protection strategy Trend Micro Safe Mobile Workforce is part of our comprehensive portfolio of mobile security solutions, which work together to provide: •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• Mobile device management Mobile application management Mobile app reputation services Device antivirus URL and web reputation/protection Secure sync and share Mobile DLP and email DLP Persistent file encryption Mobile VPN Gateway app control and web reputation All of these capabilities, in turn, together constitute the mobile aspect of Trend Micro Complete User Protection strategy.

Better user experience Both iOS and Android mobile operating systems are supported, fully leveraging the mobile OS user experience. Users may be provisioned with standard Android apps, as opposed to the vendor-provided, proprietary apps that are required for mobile container solutions. And the endpoint software also comes with an advanced client-side rendering engine that minimizes bandwidth use to optimize the mobile user experience for both smartphones and tablets. Simplified management Users can access their virtual workspace from any device, offering great accessibility, while IT administrators can remotely manage all workspaces centrally from a Web console, giving them full control. If a user loses or replaces a device, it’s simply a matter of downloading the Safe Mobile Workforce client from the App store to start working again. Access to documents from anywhere Integration with SafeSync for Enterprise provides a convenient and safe way for document synchronization and central management capability. Integrated with existing enterprise infrastructure Organizations can leverage their existing Active Directory/LDAP for single sign-on and user management.
