MobilityShield expands product portfolio SharePoint Connectivity

JERUSALEM, ISAREAL: MobilityShield, an innovative solution that guarantees secure mobile connectivity, launched SharePointShield, a new product that guarantees secure mobile connectivity for users of Microsoft SharePoint.

The innovative SharePointShield enables users to safely use approved mobile devices outside the corporate network to connect through Microsoft Lync.

"The need to connect smartphones to the corporate network has become a vital business requirement," said Guy Eldan, CEO of AGAT Software Solutions, which developed MobilityShield. "Mobile enterprises require easy-to-deploy tools to protect their sensitive business data. They are looking for solutions that enable secure connectivity of personal mobile devices with corporate SharePoint servers."

The new solution protects organizations that use SharePoint against Active Directory credentials theft, block DoS, DDoS and brute-force attacks, and enforces connection to registered devices.

While most mobile security solutions focus on protecting the data stored on the mobile device through encryption strategies and containerization, SharePointShield offers a new approach. It eliminates the need to store Active Directory passwords on the device and the connection to SharePoint is made by using dedicated SharePoint credentials that are created by the user rather than the regular network Active Directory credentials.
