This is a significant change from Apple&#8217;s previous policy of only allowing its own app store on iPhones and iPads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this increases diversity and choice for users, it also introduces potential security risks for organisations. To address these challenges, our MDM platform now offers the ability to specifically prohibit the installation of apps from these third-party marketplaces.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By enabling this setting on managed iOS devices, administrators can ensure that only verified and secure apps from the official App Store are installed. This protects corporate data from potential security risks posed by unauthorised or malicious software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This control is a critical step in maintaining the integrity and security of corporate assets on mobile platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information and guidance on configuring iOS policies, please see our help article <a href=\"https:\/\/support.cortado.com\/en\/support\/solutions\/articles\/43000589030\">Create policies for iOS\/iPadOS devices<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-primary-background-color has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\">Not yet a Cortado customer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\">Discover effective and secure mobile device management with Cortado.
