‘Reputation’ Update from NetMotion: A Huge Boost for the Security and Productivity of Mobile Workers

New service identifies the risk level and usage category of websites
for devices operating on any network, at any time, in any place – admins
can now defend against threats and enforce acceptable usage policies
without impeding user experience.

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NetMotion^®
Software, the leader in mobile enterprise productivity solutions,
today announced NetMotion Reputation, a new subscription service that
identifies the risk profile and usage categories of hundreds of millions
of web domains. Reputation allows IT teams to get visibility into user
behavior, including a better understanding into access to risky or
inappropriate cloud applications and websites. Customers can also block
access if an end-user inadvertently clicks a malicious link in an SMS or
mobile application – even when on cellular or public WiFi connections –
which many network security services cannot prevent.

Reputation categorizes websites by site type, granting administrators
visibility into potential violations of acceptable usage policies, such
as adult content or unlicensed filesharing. The definition of
“inappropriate” varies from workplace to workplace and team to team, so
Reputation gives the level of detail necessary for IT to set policies
tailored to their specific company and user base. For example, an
airline will likely wish to prevent its employees from accessing
weapons-related material, while a regional law enforcement agency may
actively encourage it.

This release, which builds upon the Q1 NetMotion Aware launch, is the
latest step towards giving IT teams the same level of visibility and
control of their remote workforce as they have for their traditional
desktop infrastructure.

“The Reputation service is all about giving organizations new
intelligence into the domains their remote workers are accessing,” said
John Knopf, VP Products at NetMotion Software. “With that information,
they can implement powerful and precise mitigation policies that block
or allow access by user, application, domain, network or time of day. IT
departments can protect users without hampering their experience or
interfering with their daily tasks.”

The Reputation service is powered by a contextual analysis and machine
learning engine that crawls, classifies and categorizes millions of
domains per day.

Reputation enables businesses to:

• Understand more about potentially inappropriate, insecure or
  unproductive web usage by users operating remotely on work-assigned
  devices
• Identify sites that host malware, cryptojacking scripts, phishing
  campaigns, or other dangerous content
• Prevent phishing attacks with policy-based blocking access to the
  infected domain, even if a user clicks on a malicious link in email,
  SMS or a mobile app
• Improve connectivity and network performance by setting policies that
  prevent access to bandwidth-heavy, non-work sites like Netflix or
  YouTube
• Gain insight and operational intelligence in MobileIQ on the risk
  level and category of web destinations accessed by mobile employees.

Reputation is available immediately a companion service to NetMotion
Mobility^® and NetMotion MobileIQ^®. Subscription
pricing is available on request.
