Public Sector As Blackberry sunsets, public sector entities have been looking for next generation mobility solutions that can support mobile apps in both classified and unclassified contexts. Hypori (originally DroidCloud) provides a ‘mobile first’ thin client experience that keeps all the apps, data and management on enterprise servers as opposed to mobile end point devices. The ACE platform allows users to access a remote Android virtual device, similar to Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, but designed for touch interaction – both the Android OS and the hundreds of thousands of COTS apps available for it. We call it Virtual Mobile Infrastructure. Hypori’s ACE platform integrates with existing EMM investments such as MDM (to manage the virtual devices), MAM and app stores (to deploy the ACE client and/or to deploy apps to virtual devices), etc – the virtual device is like a physical handset, but it is running a server. “Our agency is focused on a thin client strategy. Hypori is our main path to provide a thin flexible operating environment for mobile devices that relieves user applications of data in transit security requirements and keeps sensitive data protected in the enterprise cloud.” "JHU/APL has leveraged the Hypori platform to provide application services in our secure mobile reference network. Hypori has been repeatedly demonstrated in this evaluation and has proved to be a stable platform." “Overall Objective: Implement Thin Client Cloud for Security – Store OS, applications and data in enterprise servers; no data on local device. Benefits: • Network data can be securely accessed • Decreases chance of insider threat • Keeps secure data out of the hands of bad guys if the phone is lost • Protects data in the enterprise through security management, monitoring and auditing.” Deborah Plunkett, NSA, AFCEA – 3rd Annual Defense & Security Mobile Symposium “Virtual Mobile Infrastructure, where a commercial mobile device secure application interacts with data via a virtual phone running in our data center,” Primary BYOD concerns have been: “BYOD is about offering choice. By embracing the consumerization of Information Technology (IT), the government can address the personal preferences of its employees, offering them increased mobility and better integration of their personal and work lives. It also enables employees the flexibility to work in a way that optimizes their productivity… Virtualization: Provide remote access to computing resources so that no data or corporate application processing is stored or conducted on the personal device … In the right environment, BYOD programs can be an enormous success.” It is complimentary to VDI. The ACE platform also integrates with the rest of the enterprise IT ecosystem, such as LDAP, two factor auth, system monitoring, DevOps deployment and auditing. Hypori developed the platform in partnership with US DoD, and can provide customer references on request. The ACE platform is currently undergoing DoD penetration testing in preparation for production deployments on classified networks in early 2015. A Defense in Depth white paper is available on request, as are C&A related documentation. Hypori’s ACE platform is relevant to classified mobility (both enterprise and tactical) as well as mobile teleworking. Data at rest, and the ability to remote wipe with a high level of assurance. Attestation and malware prevention. Employee privacy and user data reimbursement. The lack of a BYOD approved policy.
