Most app-wrapping capabilities are available natively on EMM software from vendors such as VMware's AirWatch, Box or MobileIron. Īpp wrapping can be applied during internal development of software or after the fact to off-the-shelf software purchases simply by adding executable code via the SDK. For example, an app-wrapping API would allow an admin to control who can download a mobile app and whether corporate data accessed by that app can be copied and pasted. Typically, app wrapping is performed through the use of an SDK from an app or EMM vendor that allows a developer or admin to deploy an API that enables management policies to be set up. Of those businesses, about 60% have deployed some level of mobile application management and its app-wrapping technology subset, the survey showed. Today, about 44% of mid-size to large businesses have rolled out EMM software, according to a survey of 500 IT users by market researcher IDC. Once the technology is in place, app wrappers enable administrators to set policies that allow employees with corporate-owned or personal mobile devices to safely download an app, typically from an internal store.Īs more companies deploy an over-arching enterprise mobility management (EMM) strategy, ensuring that sensitive corporate data isn't compromised by employees' mobile apps is paramount, because apps are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals as a window into backend systems. App wrapping - the process of applying security policies to a mobile application such as email or a custom-built business app - can help protect corporate data without changing an app's looks or functionality.
