One of the particularly sensitive prevents some companies to migrate to Google Apps for the security of data housed. Insofar as email, calendars, contacts and documents can be found on Google's servers, then CIOs have little control over them. On one of its official blogs, the firm in Mountain View announced the deployment of new security measures intended for mobile users.
Between the Google Apps Connector for BES or different versions of Google Sync for iPhone, Nokia and Windows professionals are now able to automatically synchronize their data on their mobile devices. But what if the phone is lost? Accounting officers Google Apps Google Apps Premier and Education will soon have new control options available directly from the web management interface.
Thus it is possible to remotely wipe the entire contents of a lost or stolen phone or block the terminal after an inactivity period of pre-configured. The administrator can also choose to require entering a password to use the smartphone and ask that it be a certain length or contain different types of characters (letters, uppercase letters, digits, special example).
Note that these security measures have not yet been deployed for mobile phones running the Android system (irony?) Even if the developer Bryan Mawhinney said that these features are under development. Moreover, the upcoming smartphone sponsored by Google and will be manufactured by Motorola should specifically target professionals.
