Has a strong mobile security platform with Bitzer acquisition
As the workforce becomes increasingly mobile, the need for organizations to control access and protect company data on mobile devices has become more critical than ever, Oracle offers Mobile Security Suite (OMSS) which allows the organizations to have the flexibility to permit enterprise access from users’ devices with more granular control by isolating corporate and personal data, enabling secure enterprise application access.
Oracle Mobile Security Suite provides a secure workspace that will allow Indian companies to separate and protect enterprise apps and data and enforce policy while preserving privacy of users’ personal applications and content on the same device.
Oracle has made considerable investment in the security space to build a strong portfolio of Mobile security solutions. In November 2013, the company acquired Bitzer Mobile, a provider of mobile applications management solutions.
The acquisition augments Oracle’s portfolio and is the core component of its mobile security strategy. While many vendors offer containerization tools, Oracle extended Bitzer’s “container” technology into its market leading Identity management platform.
This eliminates the need to set up a separate management component solely for BYOD devices by extending consistent access policies and controls beyond enterprise applications and systems to mobile devices as well as cloud based systems.
Solutions like Mobile Device Management (MDM) requires consumer devices to be locked down using device level personal identification number (PIN) and Virtual Private Network (VPN). This creates privacy and usability issues as consumer devices are required to always adhere to corporate policies even for personal use.
OMSS simplifies mobile security by isolating corporate data from personal data on consumers’ personal mobile devices without the need to lockdown the entire device. Oracle’s Mobile Security Container technology protects corporate apps and data and enables a Secure Enterprise Workspace that meets enterprise security requirements without compromising user experience.
“Securing enterprise mobility is a top priority for Indian enterprises and we at Oracle are committed to bringing them the industry’s most innovative solution to help safeguard their corporate data and applications. Our Identity Management solution creates a robust platform for mobile application and data security,” said Pervez Goiporia, Vice President, Development, Oracle India. “It provides the control organizations need to scale and it enhances the user experience to support businesses unlock the potential of personal devices”
