Description:
Behind the trend of enterprise mobile office BYOD using personal devices, BYOA uses personal applications to work. Although more and more enterprises begin to allow employees to use personal devices, and even actively implement the BYOD plan, when more and more employees' personal applications run behind firewalls, they even access enterprise data and networks.
Enterprise IT departments must constantly strengthen the management of mobile applications. One of the signs of the maturity of mobile application management is the blacklist and whitelist mechanism of App. Recently, FiberLink, a mobile device management provider, has made statistics on personal applications that are often blacklisted and whitelisted by enterprises through the statistics of its 2 million mobile terminals.
In the top ten, there are some of the most popular personal applications. IT is worth noting that Dropbox, a cloud storage service, appears in the top ten of both blacklists and whitelists, which shows that IT departments of different enterprises have different attitudes towards mobile cloud storage services. FiberLink's statistics also found that the blacklist of apps in manufacturing and service industries is longer than that in other industries, and the banned personal applications are wider.
Another interesting finding of the report is that only 65,438+00% of FiberLink customers adopt the blacklist or whitelist rule for applications of iOS devices, while only 5% for Android applications.
