You can create reports outlining sensitive information from emails that are downloaded to the mobile devices. You can also schedule these reports to be sent and received regularly. The reports continuously create a record of sensitive information that is downloaded to mobile devices. If the devices are lost or stolen, you can identify what downloaded emails left your corporation with the devices. You can use the information that Mobile Email Monitor provides you about downloaded content to define mobile security policies for your corporation. Mobile Email Monitor can support your company's Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy because it does not require  nstallation of any applications or components on personal mobile devices.

Hi Lion,

i got two questions for you:

 

1) Is the only supported ActiveSync CLient iOS? Or do they also support Blackberry 10+?

2) Is it possible to prevent the Users on the Mobile Devices to send out attachments via ActiveSync? We just need to prevent them to SEND them, not to receive.

Best Regards

Andreas
