Today’s enterprise mobility solutions emphasize heavy-handed IT governance of devices and applications that impose a burden on developers and/or users. However, managing data and applications using high performance mobile-optimized infrastructure can enable secure, scalable apps while minimizing the effort required by developers and allowing them to focus on their strengths. Come learn how to facilitate the best of both worlds – multi-layer mobile security using modern standards and a fantastic user experience.

What’s Enabling Mobile App to Enterprise
Connectivity?
APIs

9. 9 © 2014 CA. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
The challenge - how do you bridge the gap?
Security/IT Administrator
- Control access to assets
- Focusing on restricting access
- Don’t understand app dev requirements
App Development & UX
- Get to market quickly
- Measured on number of downloads
- Security is something that obstructs UX
- Improve user app experience
- Don’t have time for evolving security
standards

Mobile Access Gateway
Lightweight Secure Mobile Backend for
Enterprise:
 enable enterprises to develop more apps faster that
leverage their existing data and application assets
 provide a centrally controlled way of exposing backend
data to mobile developers (design time) and apps
(runtime)
Securing mobile apps
Increasing developer velocity

Mobile SDK – Simplified & secure consumption of APIs
Layer 7 Mobile Single Sign On Solution is
a complete end-to-end standards-based
security solution.
 Secure provisioning through CA Layer 7
Mobile Access Gateway
 Leverage the underlying security in the
mobile operating systems to create in
effect a secure sign-on container
 Client-side libraries implementing
common security aspects
– Easy-to-use device API for adding app
to SSO session and set up mutual SSL
– Single API call to leverage
cryptographic security, OAuth,
OpenID Connect, and PKI
– iOS 6/7, Android 4.x & Adobe
PhoneGap
API

Mobile Security Challenges
 Secure access to enterprise data while maintaining usability (UX & DX)
 Passwords are cumbersome on mobile devices
 Hard for developers to keep track of the latest standards and to get security right
 Multiple implementations, per app basis, leads to confusing UX
 User personalization of apps difficult without mobile identity
 Native apps need to integrate with existing enterprise identity governance
 Mobile browser is not a trusted party
 Bootstrapping trust between users, devices, apps and data centers
 Enterprise access policies enforcement per app and user is non-trivial

When is the CA Layer 7 Mobile Access Gateway
relevant?
Are you:
- exposing backend APIs?
- writing mobile apps that consume the exposed APIs
- requiring mobile SSO for enterprise apps?
- requiring mutual SSL for secure consumption of APIs for
consumer or employee apps?
- integrating cloud services into mobile apps?
- integrating backend or legacy data into mobile apps?
- requiring location based access control?
