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. On-premises, the iOS devices will be automatically bound by directory or user group to the security and access policies for each user. When the iOS devices are off-premises, the app will detect this and automatically filter traffic requests. No proxy is needed whether on- or off-premises and all activity is managed through the centralized iboss Threat and Event Console to ensure security and compliance.
