Contacts App \u2013 The Security Gap in iOS <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With hindsight on the EU\u2019s General Data Protection Regulation<\/a>, Apple has finally managed to separate business and private contacts on iOS devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clear separation of business and private data on mobile devices is an essential component of any EMM strategy. Although Apple\u2019s managed apps have enabled this separation for a long time, this concept was unfortunately not implemented in Contacts on the device itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies that use EMM systems to manage their employees\u2019 iOS devices often had to contend with a significant security gap. Access to business contacts, for example when integrating an Exchange account on the iPad or iPhone, was also possible from unmanaged apps such as WhatsApp or Facebook. From a data protection perspective, this was unacceptable for many corporate scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iOS Separates Business and Private Contacts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In contrast to the separation of data on Android<\/a>, where there are two separate contact apps, Apple had to finally solve their self-created problem. When opening the Contacts app directly, private and business contacts are still displayed, but access from other apps now offers a different view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access from unmanaged apps now only allows access to unmanaged contacts. For example, a user can access contacts from an unmanaged app from the private iCloud account, but not the contacts from the company\u2019s Exchange address book configured on the device via MDM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employees with BYOD or COPE devices are free to use apps like WhatsApp or Facebook for private purposes. The company contacts remain protected against unauthorized access by third parties \u2013 provided configuration has taken place with an EMM system such as Cortado Server<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple BYOD – Never Been Better<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The improved contact separation is one of several new optimizations to BYOD for Apple devices, which is now enabled with a new registration option called User Enrollment<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can read more about why User Enrollment has been called one of the biggest changes to Apple BYOD since iOS 7 on our blog. However in a nutshell, User Enrollment manages to protect every user’s privacy (patently missing in Apple’s previous BYOD method called “device enrollment”), while still improving data separation and security for organizations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, we think there has never been a better time to launch or expand BYOD in organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
