Easily filter your iOS devices The iboss cloud Lite app provides proxy-free Web security, transparent single sign-on authentication, and user-based reporting for the iOS device family. iboss cloud Lite interfaces with the iboss Secure Web Gateway (SWG) and is tasked with securing iOS devices to ensure Web security and access policy enforcement. 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.

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.
