This solution is an annual recurring cost proposition, including implementation and technical support for one year. This technology is supplied in software and installed on each mobile phone or tablet as agent software. This agent is connected with Synersoft’s data center for policy enforcement. AMC includes Call Center driven Remote Support, Feature Upgrades, and a web console to control agents centrally.
This solution can work on company-given mobile phones (Android or iPhone) and employee-owned mobile phones (BYOD).

The Objective
To ensure that Enterprise is never exploited competitively due to data leakage from laptops or remotely located computers.
Problem Statement and Goal Settings
Enterprises’ data can be leaked from mobile phones or tablets by USB drives, Emails or the Internet, which can be competitively exploited. Enterprises can also be victims of Email Identity Fraud or Fraudulent Use of Resources. BLACKBox helps enterprises to achieve the following goals.
- To control data leakage through Email, USB or the Internet from company-given mobile phones or tablets.
- To control data leakage through Email, USB or Internet from BYOD-based employee-owned mobile phones or tablets.
- To segregate data of enterprise apps and enterprise emails from employee’s data on employee’s mobile phones to prevent enterprise data
leakage. - To prevent data leakage through screen capture while keeping enterprise data (email or attachment, or images) opened.
- To allow users to access enterprise applications or data through VPN only.
- To allow enterprise internet browsers with enterprise applications only.
- To exercise complete controls on the camera, apps, screen capture, VPN, and internet on the company-given Android or Samsung phone.
Note: Implementation of M-Duo requires BLACKbox 3D on the server side.
Features of BLACKbox M-Duo
Traditional Solutions and Shortcomings
Traditional IT deployments must fully achieve the above goals, leaving the organizations competitively vulnerable. The deployment of BLACKbox M-Duo complements traditional IT solutions and helps the organization fully achieve the above goals. Traditionally, when emails or enterprise data (by downloading attachments) is used on mobile phones, it is straightforward to leak it through personal email IDs or online storage drives or drop boxes. This makes all security investments done by enterprises ineffective.
BLACKbox M-DUO VALUE PROPOSITION FOR BYOD
BLACKbox 3D is a server-side deployment, and BLACKbox M-Duo is a device-side deployment. M-Duo controls native email applications, data storage, and mobile phone or tablet internet browsers. Attachment or email data is always stored on the enterprise storage part of the device, which cannot be accessed from personal email, browser, etc. This solution is more effective and gives more control when the company owns the device and is loaded with pure Android. We recommend Samsung phones loaded with an OS above 4.3 for the best results and the highest controls. If the company owns a mobile, we can provide extra controls on the camera and VPN and enforce enterprise policies for devices owned by the company.

Restrictions on Camera, Video Recording, Audio Recording, Screen Capture, Configuration of Personal Email Accounts, USB data transfer, Bluetooth Data Transfer, Usage of SD Card, Usable Applications, Internet Site Restrictions, Predefined VPN, and Custom wallpaper can be exercised. This requires factory resetting the phone.
