PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AeroFS, the leading provider of private cloud file sharing services, today announced that it is now part of the MobileIron AppConnect ecosystem. AeroFS integrated with MobileIron AppConnect, ensures that employees will have a consumer-grade file sharing experience by simply dropping a file into a local folder. The integration allows IT to maintain control of corporate data by deploying AeroFS 100 percent behind the firewall and securing the shared files on mobile devices through MobileIron.
MobileIron, the leader in enterprise mobility management (EMM), provides its AppConnect technology to third party mobile app developers. With MobileIron AppConnect apps, companies can provide the third-party application experiences their employees want, with apps that have been enabled with auto-configuration, data containerization, and secure tunneling to protect corporate data.
Companies are constantly balancing security and usability. In an effort to efficiently get their work done, employees routinely use their own tools, including the devices and file sharing tools that they use at home. The integration of AeroFS and MobileIron brings with it the best of both worlds – a file sharing service that meets the needs of the end user without compromising on the Information Security team’s requirements.
“We have thousands of customers that consistently ask us for advice regarding the best way to secure files once they’ve been downloaded to a mobile device,” said Yuri Sagalo, CEO of AeroFS. “With our new relationship with MobileIron, that question has been answered. Our customers will end up with the most secure, and the most usable, product on the market.”
“Our customers have come to expect the same intuitive mobile experiences at work that they receive in their personal lives. IT is challenged to ensure that this user-friendly experience is as secure as possible,” said John Spencer, Vice President of Ecosystem, MobileIron. “With MobileIron and AeroFS, organizations can provide the consumer grade mobile usability that is driving adoption in the first place, without compromising the security of the shared files on these devices.”
