WeGuard

WeGuard is an enterprise mobility platform from Wenable that helps IT teams secure and manage mobile devices. It covers Apple iOS and Google Android from one console and has recently added Windows support in beta. The vendor presents it as more than a standard device-management tool.

What WeGuard offers

• Device management — one console for iOS and Android, with bulk provisioning and zero-touch installation.
• Remote controls — remote reboot, remote wipe, device finding and monitoring, and control over app store access.
• Kiosk mode — locks devices to specific uses.
• Data usage reporting — gives visibility of how mobile data is being used.
• Communications and storage — calling, messaging, video streaming and cloud storage from the same platform.
• Conditional access and DLP — checks device posture before granting access and limits sensitive files leaving managed devices.

Who it works with

The platform is aimed at enterprise IT teams, and its own material discusses retail among its use cases. Customers can apply their own branding through customisable personas.
