Dear all<br />
<br />
Since the rapid uptake of Apple devices in our company I have noticed how few of the management team turn on the auto lock feature saying how annoying it is each time they want to use the device. As far as I’m concerned this is the first line of defense for these devices. <br />
<br />
After questioning the GM’s some have installed apps to find the phone if need be and wipe it if they decide but In most cases this would be too late, sensitive information would almost certainly have been stolen.<br />
<br />
Has anyone out there come across an app similar to Windows AD policies that enforce using the auto lock for instance and other functions and obviously stop the user from turning it off<br />
<br />
Regards<br />

Securing Apple devices in a corporate environment

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Security

Programs written for the Apple operating systems are distinguished from software created for other operating systems in that it must be approved by Apple for use on its devices, whether it is from Apple (Final Cut, iWork, Keynote, Logic Pro and GarageBand are popular titles), or is a third party application from Parallels, Nuance, Microsoft and Amazon, among many others.
