\n1: Citrix MDX technologies provides and enable IT to wrap enhanced security, traffic around mobile apps for Android and iOS. The technologies can be segregated into 3 tiers called MDX ACCESS, MDX INTERAPP & MDX VAULT when determining what policy(s) to enforce. I will not look into the capabilities of each tier at a high level.
\n2: MDX VAULT enables encryption of the private data storage of MDX wrapped mobile apps. Check out – http:\/\/support.citrix.com\/proddocs\/topic\/xenmobile-87\/xmob-appc-mobile-apps-encryption-con.html<\/a>.
\n3: MDX INTERAPP allows IT to control the application fabric of MDX wrapped mobile apps e.g restricting what apps it can open in (Document Open In); opening a service of the mobile platform e.g maps when a user clicks on an address in WorxMail.
\n4: MDX ACCESS enables and allows IT to set a MDX wrapped mobile apps traffic to be tunnelled via a mVPN, blocked or to the internet. The mVPN can be configured with either SecureBrowse (Only internal traffic traverses up the mVPN and anything bound for the internet does not) or FullVPN (All traffic flows up the mVPN).
\n5: You can find more surrounding the MDX policies at these two links one for iOS at – http:\/\/support.citrix.com\/proddocs\/topic\/xenmobile-87\/xmob-appc-mobile-apps-policies-ios-con-nike.html<\/a> and Android at – http:\/\/support.citrix.com\/proddocs\/topic\/xenmobile-87\/xmob-appc-mobile-apps-policies-andr-con-1.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n
