Enterprise mobile management and remote access [ITWeb]


(ITWeb Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Most organisations today have a mixed estate of personally owned and corporate owned devices. Regardless, almost all devices carry both corporate and personal applications and data. Separation of personal from corporate assets is critical, regardless of device ownership. Excitor offers solutions for both BYOD (bring your own device) and COPE (corporate owned, personally enabled) devices.



BYOD and COPE also applies to the desktop and laptop world. Excitor provides secure access to enterprise apps without connecting a user's Windows, Mac or Linux device directly to the network.

"Organisations are faced with a breadth of options to secure data on both mobile devices and mobile Laptops or PC's. Excitor offer an integrated platform that address all these needs without forcing organisation to implement technology that is not best suited for their requirements," says Sean Glansbeek, Managing Director of Seven Days Technologies.


For the second consecutive year, Excitor has been shortlisted for the prestigious Data Leakage (DLP) Award by SCMagazine (Secure Computing Magazine). Being the only Enterprise Mobility Management solution shortlisted also shows that Excitor are the leading solution for companies looking for a user-friendly, yet secure solution to improve employee productivity by granting access to critical corporate information on portable devices.

Excitor features – DME, MobiControl and G/On Working securely away from the office on desktops, laptops and a wide range of mobile devices. Excitor's DME Solution allows broad scale access from multiple devices using its DME and G/On clients Containerisation Excitor DME provides a secure container for corporate data (HTML5 applications such as SharePoint), secure intranet, file shares and email and PIM – with zero impact on personal data or privacy. Excitor DME containerises corporate data across mobile platforms – iOS, Android, Windows Phone 8, separating business from personal information and preventing data leakage between applications.

DME is a solution aimed at mobilising your workforce by giving them secure access to their e-mails, calendar, address book, tasks and business applications on their favourite mobile device. It also allows secure viewing and editing of documents inside DME's Secure Container.

By choosing DME, you ensure that personal devices can be deployed without risking data leakage. The DME Secure Container lets employees access their corporate mailbox and use business apps. The corporate data resides inside the container, removing all risk of it leaking to personal apps.

Designed to secure, manage and control files in a BYOD and corporate owned device environment, DME File Browser is a component of DME AppBox. DME AppBox complements DME Email, Calendar and PIM by securing enterprise applications and files within the same Secure Container. Simple access through a single sign-on process is fundamental to the ease of use demanded for rapid adoption, but the security is assured through DME's authentication process – either input of corporate directory password or swipe command.

Mobile device management and mobile application management Excitor MobiControl is a comprehensive enterprise mobility solution for managing your entire fleet of mobile assets across all operating systems. The centralised, Web-based management console provides total visibility and full control of your corporate, shared and personally owned mobile devices.

Excitor MobilControl offers device provisioning, configuration of settings, remote wipe, app and document distribution, remote control, geo fencing and device tracking and reporting.

MobiControl also offers an Employee Self-Service Portal Equip device users with tools to manage their mobile devices, Users can reset passwords, wipe data or lock a misplaced, lost or stolen device, locate it via geo-tracking and gain visibility into their apps Secure remote accessExcitor G/On connects users securely to applications from Windows, Mac and Linux desktops and laptops without the need for a VPN.

Excitor G/On protects your network and gives:• the right access • for the right people • to the right applications • under the right circumstances Based on a patented technology, G/On securely connects users to their applications without the need for a traditional VPN. The G/On server provisions, secures, and manages individual connections from application client programs to corporate IT services.

Simply plug in the USB Token on any PC or Mac and launch the G/On client software. Enter the standard AD user name and password. The next thing you see is your menu of applications allowing access to your work PC via RDP, Citrix, Intranet, web applications or file shares.

Secure boot Excitor G/On supports UEFI secure boot for extra security. This prevents data leakage by disabling the local hard disk and loads a secure client OS from a USB key that securely connects users to Citrix, VDI, RDP, Intranet and/or Web applications.

"Organisations can now decide what's best for them, true containerisation for privately owned devices without MDM, or MDM for corporate owned devices. For more secure requirements organisations could mix the two technologies. Companies also do not have to provide VPN access to staff or contractors PCs or laptops and only have to provide the exact applications they are required to access," says Glansbeek.
