How to install a VIPRE agent to protect iOS devices.

Protect iOS devices

iOS device security can be managed by VIPRE Endpoint Security through VIPRE Business Mobile Security. The application must be installed on iOS devices for remote security management. Through VIPRE Business Mobile Security, you can enforce security policies on iOS devices as well as perform security operations, directly from the VIPRE Console.

To install VIPRE Business Mobile Security:

  1. From Site Navigator, select an iOS policy such as Default for iOS.
  2. From the main menu, click Install Agent. This opens the iOS Access Code dialog.
  3. Take note of the Access Code that is displayed on the right hand side of the dialog. This code is used to activate VIPRE Business Mobile Security and also links the device to VIPRE Site Service. This enables you to manage the mobile device from the VIPRE Console.
  4. Follow on-screen instructions to download and complete the installation.
  5. Once VIPRE is installed, launch the application and click Sign Up. Configure the following options:
    • Name: Key in your full name
    • Access ID: key in the access code that was recorded in Step 3.

Note that an Internet connection is required so that VIPRE Business Mobile Security synchronizes with the VIPRE Console and the device can be managed remotely.
