Apple very recently launched iOS8 at its Worldwide
Developers Conference (WWDC) for both iPhone and iPad. While the launch is
directed at keeping app developers happy, it even assures the leading game
providers to bring console-class 3D games to mobile devices, for the first time.
What firing in the board of the IT community right now is the
“enterprise” feature list of new versions of iOS. This article shall help you
look at the impact of iOS 8 on their mobile strategies.
Handling Privacy in
a Healthkit World
iOS 8 introduced HealthKit and HomeKit- the two new tools
to enable health and home automation experiences. Unlike the previous consumer
health app telling how many calories each burn/ blood-pressure tracker or
diabetes manager- employees will be able to use personal apps enabled by
HealthKit, HomeKit, Apple Pay, and other future services on their corporate
devices.
Recommended, revisit your approach to privacy policy,
process, and communication. Also, in order to protecting life-critical
workflows and personal data move to a model of selective management and
selective wipe to secure enterprise data.
Biometrics Ready for
Prime Time
With respect to biometrics, back in 2013 the iPhone 5s first
introduced with the fingerprint recognition technology of Touch ID allowing
users to unlock their phones or conduct iTunes transactions without typing
their passwords.
Enterprises made use of these to simplify the user authentication
experience by allowing Touch ID to unlock a device while still having a strong
password as a backup. So that it increases the strength of iOS secondary
encryption.
Securing Fluid Data
With iOS 8’s new features like Handoff and app extensions,
the ability to deliver workflow-based apps that enables data becoming fluid and
easily available across devices and apps.
How is it beneficial? Enterprise app developers can create
more fluid and interactive apps turning into a productive mobile workflow for the
end user. This isn’t. Providing the guardrails for enterprise developers to use
these features effectively will help from corporate data to suddenly appear on
unmanaged devices or in unauthorized apps.
Summing up, iOS 8 will kick off new innovations in mobileapp development with far-ranging implications for privacy, app design, and data
security in the enterprise that benefit greatly from those that struggle to
catch up.
