Lockdown mode and data security

Solved Locked

Hello All,

This is a question from our Security team; We will be using Android based scanners, controlled by MobiControl. After configuring the WiFI (PSK) and other information we want to put the devices in Lockdown mode to prevent retrieval of that information, which could leave our WiFI potentially vulnerable in the event of device loss.

What we want to know is how this lockdown mode is implemented in Mobicontrol. Is this proprietary code, or are Android lockdown features used.

Is there information available how these features like lockdown and encryption are implemented?

Thanks, Jan

if you are an existing Soti MobiControl customer, contact your local Soti/Soti-reseller to ask about sensitive information related to implementation of security related policies.     Releasing such information to sufficient details in an open forum doesn't seem appropriate, in case such information may be accessed and used by hackers .

Also, on top of lockdown menu, you can use a combination of application-run-control, out-of-contact, feature-control, scheduled-script,  Wifi, etc policies to enhance security for lost/stolen devices.   Maybe you should share details of your use case, or your concerns, so that others can recommend appropriate enhancement possibility.
