Citrix this past week announced XenMobile 8.7 which empowers organizations in highly regulated industries, such as governments at all levels, with device choice; speedy access to more productivity apps, like one click access to Microsoft Lync; and support for existing technology environments without sacrificing security, control, and most importantly, end user experience. Citrix also enables agencies that are planning to phase out BlackBerry devices to transition smoothly, knowing their data and existing apps are secure, integrated and supported. Companies and organizations that have highly sensitive information in these industries need to factor security measures into an MDM strategy, and Citrix is pleased to announce that XenMobile 8.7 is enhancing enterprise mobility options for these organizations by providing security measures that are held to international standards.
Key features of XenMobile 8.7 include:
- FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption for mobile apps, including secure email, browser and content collaboration. XenMobile creates a secure encrypted vault for application data on mobile devices so that government and enterprise workers can access critical documents and applications securely.
- Better-than-native secure mobile email, calendar and contacts through the WorxMail™ app with FIPS compliant encryption for data at rest and data in motion. New enhancements include one-click access to leading communication and collaboration apps, such as Microsoft Lync, the FaceTime app, and SMS messaging directly from WorxMail calendar and contacts.
- Support for a variety of email and collaboration solutions, such as existing systems like the IBM Lotus Notes client. Government workers also have secure mobile intranet access with single sign-on (SSO) to portals and SharePoint sites using the WorxWeb™ app, a containerized browser with full policy control.
- Support for newly launched Apple iOS 7.1 and Microsoft Windows 8.1 operating systems, allowing devices with these new operating systems to be managed and controlled with XenMobile. XenMobile also adds VPN support for Amazon Kindle devices, enabling them to connect to corporate environments.
Citrix XenMobile 8.7 will be available for download for current customers this month.
