What's new
Kaspersky Secure Mobility Management 1.0
In this release, we added a wide range of features to plug-ins for MMC-based Administration Console to set up control over corporate mobile devices.
The following features were added to the plug-in for managing Android devices:
The Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android app now supports devices that operate in device owner mode. You can generate a QR code for app installation in device owner mode that allows you to configure different device settings.
Features for Android devices in device owner mode:
Restrictions of Android operating system features. These restrictions include:
Device features (reset to factory settings, screen capture, calls and SMS messages, and so on).
Apps (the use of different apps, app installation settings, and so on).
Storage (mounting external media, file transfer over USB, and so on).
Network (Wi-Fi and mobile networks, VPN settings, and so on).
Location Services (the use of location and changing location settings).
Management of Google Chrome settings.
Kiosk mode (with a single app or set of apps).
Management of Exchange ActiveSync settings for Gmail.
Connection to a NDES/SCEP server.
Installation of root certificates on devices.

You can specify the list of allowed Wi-Fi networks to connect automatically and hide other networks from the user device.
New options to delete all data on a lost or stolen Android device after failed attempts to enter the unlock password.
Adding web clips to devices.
This release also includes the following new features in the plug-in for managing iOS MDM devices:
The new Compliance Control component that lets you monitor iOS MDM devices for compliance with corporate security requirements and take various actions.
You can manage apps on iOS MDM devices based on lists of allowed and prohibited apps.
New commands are added:
Reset password
Schedule operating system update
Set Bluetooth state
New features to configure VPN connections:
Support for the IKEv2 protocol.
You can set up activating the VPN connection for selected website domains in Safari.
New option to force the use of a password on a device.

Starting from release 1.0, Kaspersky Security for Mobile no longer supports management of mobile devices by using the Exchange ActiveSync protocol (management of EAS devices). Instead, you can integrate with Exchange Server via policy settings for Android or iOS MDM devices. If you want to continue managing your devices via the Exchange ActiveSync protocol, please use earlier versions of the Kaspersky Security for Mobile solution.
