There is a built-in section called 'Compliance Manager' inside the GOOD app. From there a canned rule is Jailbreak (and rooting) detection.
I took your standards on iPhones as well. Back in November I went into a GOOD review with a grain of salt. Worried about it as a solution. Since that time, we've implemented a few security profiles and multiple iPhones/iPads in our environment (we are Government, so we are extremely HIPPA-conscious). The original question was looking for answers from a working environment. It currently works in our environment. Seems a lot easier to manage outside of the BES. Very customizable policies. Our GOOD iPhone policy essentially mirrors our BlackBerry policy. It works for us, it might not work for others. Interesting about the VPN issues. Thanks for the heads up. Off-Topic: We got to the point here where executive folks wanted iPhones and iPads. Our goals as administrators is to "...make technology succeed when it meets a need that people care about." Furthermore, "...If it doesn't meet a need it is doomed to extinction" - Steve Prentice. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Decker, Winfield R.

It only secures the App. Keep in mind that any app on the phone can use the device's data connection, so if end users VPN through GOOD your backend network is still vulnerable to outside apps. Also, BES and BlackBerry can replicate the same personal vs work on the device, and allows for significantly better security. Not to mention with a fully patched iPhone being able to be jailbroken within a few moments, and no way to stop it, I would question anything that "secures" that device. (This is the same with rooting on Android). http://www.windowsitpro.com/blogs/security/tabid/788/entryid/76044/Trend -Mic ro-Exec-Claims-Android-OS-Has-Security-Issues.aspx As another point of reference. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eggan, Mark Sent: Monday, February 28, 2011 3:01 PM To: A list for BES Admin's to discuss issues,etc. Subject: Re: [Bes-admins] Blackberry vs Iphone We've been using Good Technology for iPhones (also supports Androids etc). Nice, containerized application for the iPhone. So deleting a device isn't actually deleting the phone, it only deletes the application. Utilizes iPhones native Apple Push Notification Service (APNS). I like the security on it.

There are some third party companies that say they can support iPhones with the same level of care as BES but I have yet to actually get one to work. We purchased a solution but it was very difficult to install and we still don't have the results we were promised.

I have nothing against the iphone but in a business I feel the Blackberry is better designed. Has anyone else had this issue and what argument pieces did you find to support your case?
