Symantec has released Mobility Suite 5.3 featuring integration with our mobile application management (MAM) capabilities and the company’s market-leading DLP product. The latest release also replaces our former Content solution with Work File, an application included in Symantec Mobility: Workforce Apps. Other features included enhanced wrap capabilities, increased usability, and improvements to mobile device management (MDM).
The DLP integration featured in Mobility Suite 5.3 gives you and your security team a centralized approach to easily manage DLP across all of your endpoints, including mobile devices. The DLP integration for app proxy allows you to extend DLP to your mobile devices without requiring MDM or full device VPN. It leverages the apps that are secured via Symantec’s unique app wrapping technology and a secure app proxy that acts like a per-app VPN. When the DLP integration is enabled, the app proxy communicates with your DLP servers to inspect the traffic and appropriately apply policy. It leverages your existing DLP to shut down mobile data leakage vectors with its ability to monitor or completely block sensitive data from ever being downloaded to your mobile devices.

Mobility Suite 5.3 brings Work File, a secure file editor and content management app, into the Workforce Apps module. Open, edit, save, and collaborate on corporate documents, while protecting sensitive data outside the firewall. Work File enables you to provide a repository with secure storage for viewing, editing, and sharing corporate content, and set policies to prevent opening or copying into unmanaged apps. Symantec Mobility: Workforce Apps also includes Work Mail and Work Web.
