Bitglass Awarded Patent for Agentless Mobile Security
January 2017 by Marc Jacob
Bitglass
announced it has been awarded a patent for agentless secure app access and selective
wipe of corporate data on any device. The technology, covered by US Patent
9,553,867, works across all major mobile platforms and enables Bitglass to
synchronize a lost, stolen or deprovisioned device with a null mail or calendar
account.
Bitglass offers the only mobile security solution capable of wiping corporate data
while leaving all personal data on a device intact. Bitglass’ patented selective
wipe capability requires no agents, certificates or complex configuration on the
end-user’s personal mobile device.
Agentless mobile security enables enterprises to balance data protection and user
privacy, increasingly important as employees push back against invasive device
management solutions. These agent-based MDM solutions have been shown to track
location and log personal activity without alerting the end-user. Unlike MDM,
Bitglass is built to protect corporate data without visibility into users’
personal data while still enforcing access controls, device passcodes, and disk
encryption.
