The client app implements Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) and IMAP protocols to connect to various systems, including Exchange, Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo and icloud . Cloud Notification Service! Notification Service AW Console Exchange Secure Gateway Secure Gateway (SEG) The optional secure gateway (SEG) Proxy server can provide additional security by only allowing traffic from approved devices to the corporate server. attachments can also be encrypted and hyperlinks can be redirected to open in VMware Browser, thus protecting sensitive information. Notification Service (ENS) With the notification service (ENS), users receive real time notification on their ios devices through Apple Push Notification Service (APNS). The service also helps to improve battery performance. IT can configure policies to mask the actual content of the notifications for security and DLP. Privacy Protection for BYO Devices Boxer is a containerized application available on both corporate owned and employee owned or BYO devices. If employee owned, IT has the ability to enable employees to access the Boxer app without an MDM profile on the device. Containerization of the application keeps enterprise data at-rest and in-transit to exist separately, protecting the user s personal data while maintaining security of corporate information.
