Secure Access (SA) running with IVE OS version 7.2 now delivers Host Checker support for Apple iOS and Google Android mobile devices. This feature enables customers to protect SSL VPN from devices that are not compliant with centrally-defined corporate security and access policies.
=> The security and access policies specific to iOS and Android include the following:
- OS version check => Configuring this policy will check for the client mobile OS on the device before granting access to the
SA and any resource protected by SA.
- Jail-broken OR Root detection => "Jail-broken" is a term used for iOS devices and "Root" is a term used on Android. Jail-
breaking and rooting refer to a process whereby a user may gain privileged access on
an iOS or Android device, respectively, bypassing restrictions imposed by the device
manufacturer and carrier. Since jail-broken iOS devices and rooted Android devices are
more prone to threats and malware exploit than non-jail-broken or non–rooted devices,
many companies would want to deny access to any internal resource through the SA,
for those mobile users who have thier phones Jail-broken OR rooted
- Mobile Security Suite => Configuring this policy by an administrator will ensure that a client device has Mobile Security
Suite installed and enabled before granting access to the SA and the corporate network.
Mobile Security Suite is an additional product in the Junos Pulse mobility solution. It delivers
ondevice mobile security (such as anti-malware), mobile device management (including policy
provisioning, remote alert/locate/ track/lock/wipe, and backup and restore), and application control.
