Blue Coat,Airwatch Mobile Device Security Service

Notes to self from:http://www.bluecoat.com/products/mobile-device-security-service

The rate of smartphone and tablet adoption by the workforce has caught many enterprises off guard and ill prepared to maximize the full benefit of these devices while ensuring its secure use. The most logical approach is to extend the same content security deployed at the enterprise to smartphones and tablets working in conjunction with the Mobile Device Management solution of choice. Unfortunately, many enterprises quickly realize that it is
difficult for MDM solutions and content security solution to coexist on the same iPhone or iPad. In fact, in most cases the solutions are mutually exclusive.

comprehensive security solution for smartphones and tablets.
