Codeproof, which has an office in Redmond, announced the expansion of its innovative SaaS-based enterprise mobile management (EMM) software platform with a secure web browser and a kiosk management app designed to bring greater protection and productivity on mobile devices for businesses.
Developed for Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets, Codeproof’s new security tools enable whitelisting and blacklisting for websites and apps and a range of lockdown policy controls, such as function and location use and more, for employer and personal devices used for company purposes. Codeproof will demonstrate at Mobile World Congress on March 2-5 in Barcelona.
“In today’s work environment, use of cell phones and tablets every day is necessary to drive business forward,” said Satish Shetty, CEO and founder of Codeproof. “However, devices are traditionally consumer-enabled, housing unnecessary apps, which decreased overall efficiency, battery life and increased cellular data usage. By providing IT administrators with a cloud-based platform for easy management and control of mobile applications on devices, we’re better enabling businesses to increase employee productivity, safeguard confidential work matters and ultimately reduce costs.
For the past two years, Codeproof has been an official partner of Samsung Enterprise Alliance Program (SEAP), which provides tools and benefits to its partners to help them develop differentiated solutions on Galaxy devices. With various policies that brings better manageability and flexibility on the device, Samsung KNOX platform integration with Codeproof’s mobile security solution provides customers with a powerful toolset for cloud-based administration of security measures on workforce mobile devices. This collaboration between SEAP and Codeproof will address customers’ needs of easy and scalable enterprise mobility implementation.
Secure Mobile Web Browser and Kiosk Management App
Across the globe, most businesses today function with work being conducted by employees on mobile devices. Depending on the size of the company, this can range from dozens to thousands of cell phones and tablets in use daily for calls, processing transactions, presentations, research and more. With Codeproof’s new mobile security tools, companies can now ensure that work devices are functioning according to best business practices.
Codeproof’s new secure mobile web browser enables IT administrators to whitelist/blacklist websites, block websites based on keywords in content and urls, block malicious websites, create web shortcuts and bookmarks and more. All this is done remotely by a cloud-based administration console.
Providing a range of advanced device lockdown features, the kiosk management app enables remote whitelisting/blacklisting for apps and the ability to block a device’s settings, taskbar and notifications. Other features include managing use of the camera, microphone, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, USB, SMS, cellular data, HomeKey, access to Google Playstore, as well as the ability to install/uninstall apps and make phone calls.
