New Release of Mocana Mobile App Protection (MAP) Delivers Better BYOD Security and Superior User Experience


SAN FRANCISCO --(Business Wire)--

Mocana (News - Alert), the app security leader, makes mobile app security easier and more robust than ever before with the new release of the company's flagship product, Mobile App Protection™ (MAP™) (www.mocana.com/map). Mocana MAP 2.4.4 simplifies secure access to multiple MAP-protected apps on mobile devices, eliminating tedious password re-entry and facilitating secure data sharing amongst apps. The new version of MAP also gives admins shared password recovery for devices across their extended enterprise, regardless of whether or not those devices are managed by a mobile device management (MDM) solution.

MAP 2.4.4 is available now, and also will be distributed globally by Mocana partner SAP (News - Alert) as 'SAP Mobile App Protection by Mocana.'

"This new MAP release strikes an unprecedented balance between providing the highest grade of security implementation in the industry while offering a terrific user experience, and that's something the 'container solutions' offered by other vendors just can't match," said Alan Brenne, senior vice president of products and engineering at Mocana. "With this new 2.4.4 release, the entire user experience for MAP-protected apps - from deployment to administration to day-to-day usage - has been significantly improved."



The Mocana Mobile App Protection solution helps organizations accelerate mobility initiatives by automating iOS and Android (News - Alert)™ app security. MAP's patent-pending app-shielding solution allows managers to simply point and click to add new security to existing mobile apps in seconds, without having to write any code. Enterprises can preserve the native app experience, yet still deliver on their app data security requirements to customers, partners, employees and compliance organizations.

MAP enables business units, IT and app development teams to customize security policies for each app while taking advantage of FIPS 140-2 encryption and standards-based communication protocols. Once wrapped, the app, its data and the connection to the enterprise are secured. Unlike many competing 'app-wrapping' offerings, MAP is a robust and mature product that consistently delivers in real-world bake-offs and penetration tests.
