New Google Apps Mobile Management features for Android amp up productivity and security
May 21st, 2014 | Published in Google Enterprise
We're adding new features to Google Apps Mobile Management for Android to help your organization meet these challenges head on:
- Inactive account wipe: Set policies that will wipe an inactive account from a device if it has not been synced for a predetermined number of days, so a lost device that wasn’t reported or the old device left in a drawer does not cause a security risk.
- Support for EAP-based WiFi Networks: Configure settings and distribute certificate authority (CA) based certs for EAP networks.
- Compromised device detection: Set policies that will detect signals for common forms of a compromised device, such as “rooting” or installing a custom "ROM", and block that device.
- Additional reporting fields: Access new reporting fields via the API and Admin console to better understand the devices that are in use and troubleshoot issues. Additional fields include: Serial number, IMEI, MEID, WiFi MAC address, baseband version, kernel version, build number, mobile operator/carrier, language settings, and account ownership/management.
