RemoSync Security Features

SSL Data Encryption – During the account setup, user needs to select SSL when Microsoft Exchange Server supports SSL.

Security PIN -  Security PIN helps to prevent the unauthorized access to the application. During initial setup RemoSync directs to create a 4-Digit security PIN.  The PIN length and type (Numeric / Alpha Numeric) can be defined or changed using the mobile policy settings set by IT administrator at Exchange Server. RemoSync retrieves the mobile policy settings on every login attempt with the exchange server. The PIN can be entered Every time, Daily, or based on Inactive Duration set by IT Administrator.

Remote and Local Data Wipe – RemoSync supports the remote data wipe feature as defined by exchange server. Using Exchange 2007 server, data wipe can be enabled by employees at any time using the Outlook web access.  When RemoSync connects to the exchange server next time, reads the mobile policy settings and then deletes all data files specific to RemoSync application and the contacts stored in the phone addressbook. 

Local data wipe can be enabled using the security PIN failed attempts.  IT Administrator defined the mobile policy settings by enabling the data wipe after n number of unsuccessful PIN entries. When user fails to enter the correct PIN and reaches the allowed limit of unsuccessful attempts, RemoSync launches the data wipe to clear all the data files and the contacts stored in the native address book.

Password Recovery - As per the mobile policy settings, RemoSync allows the user to reset the security PIN if forgotten. The password recovery is automatically enabled when the user reaches 50% of allowable unsuccessful login attempts.  To reset the security PIN, the user must enter the exchange server password. Once the exchange server password is validated, RemoSync allows the user to choose different security PIN.

Inactivity Time Out – RemoSync exits the application and forces the user to enter the security PIN when the Inactive Period exceeds the time limit set by IT administrator.
