It offers the following features: •Extends iboss role-based Web security and access policies across iOS devices, whether they are on-premises, traveling, or at home •Provides a better end-user experience and a reduction in help desk calls Implementation is easy, only requiring the network administrator to push this app through their MDM solution, and then activate it via an appropriate MDM Content Filtering profile.
