AirWatch Inbox Security and Encryption

Overview

Using an AES 256-bit encryption algorithm, the AirWatch Inbox secures email content by encrypting message data such as email addresses and message text and storing it in a local database. The email database and attachments are stored in a protected app space that is inaccessible to third-party applications.

In This Section

Account Information/Email Message Encryption – Describes the ways account information and email messages are encrypted, for non-rooted devices.

Email Attachment Encryption – Explains the ways AirWatch Inbox protects attachments sent and received via email.

SEG/PowerShell Support – Profiles how AirWatch Inbox functions using SEG and PowerShell.

Secured Syncing – Details how to sync native contacts and calender with AirWatch Inbox.

The following security features can be configured within the AirWatch email profile.

Account Information/Email Message Encryption

Account information, including email password and message information such as the message body, is encrypted when written to the application database. The application database is not accessible on non-rooted devices. If the device is rooted, the information will still not be readable because it will be encrypted.

Email Attachment Encryption

AirWatch Inbox provides you the option of using the Secure Email Gateway to perform email stripping. All email attachments are downloaded to the internal application space, which like email messages can only be accessed if the device is rooted.

SEG/PowerShell Support

When configured, the AirWatch Inbox automatically sends a unique EAS identifier that is written to the AirWatch database. This EAS identifier is used to identify the device as a managed device through the Secure Email Gateway or via PowerShell commands. As a managed device, the administrator can create different email compliance policies using the SEG or PowerShell commands.

../../../../../Content/Expert%20Guides/AW_Inbox_Guide/02_Securing_AWEC.htm#Secured

Email Stripping via SEG

In addition to supporting email compliance policies, the email client supports downloading “awsec” file attachments through Secure Email Gateway.

1. A user navigates to attachments in email message. The attachment is listed with an .awsec file extension.

2. The user downloads the attachment.

3. Once downloaded, the user is presented with a Save/View button.

AirWatch Inbox for Android

Overview

The AirWatch Inbox can be remotely provisioned and configured by creating an Exchange ActiveSync payload as part of a configuration profile. Only accounts provisioned by AirWatch can be configured to work with AirWatch Inbox, because the application does not allow the end user to manually configure an account within the client.

In This Section

8

If you have email usernames that are different than users' email addresses, you can use the {EmailUserName} field, which corresponds to the email usernames imported during directory service integration. If your users' email usernames are same as their email addresses, you would still use the {EmailUserName} field, which would use their email addresses as they were imported during directory service integration.

Deploying Credentials

Credentials profiles deploy corporate certificates for user authentication to managed devices. Configure the following options to apply corporate certificates:

1. Navigate to Devices ► Profiles ► List View ► Add. Select Android.

Associating a SCEP/Credentials Payload with a Profile

Even if you protect your corporate email, Wi-Fi and VPN with strong passcodes and other restrictions, your infrastructure still remains vulnerable to brute force and dictionary attacks, in addition to employee error. For greater security, you can implement digital certificates to protect corporate assets. To do this, you must first define a certificate authority, then configure a Credentials payload alongside your Exchange ActiveSync (EAS), Wi-Fi or VPN payload. Each of these payloads has settings for associating the certificate authority defined in the Credentials payload.

To push certificates down to devices, you need to configure a Credentials or SCEP payload as part of the profiles you created for EAS, Wi-Fi and VPN settings. Use the following instructions to create a certificate-enabled profile:

1. Navigate to Devices ► Profiles ► List View ► Add and select iOS from the platform list.

Or, select Defined Certificate Authority from the Credential Source drop-down menu and select the Certificate Authority and Certificate Template from their respective drop-down menu. Or, select User Certificate and the intended use for the S/MIME certificate.

5. Navigate back to the previous payload for EAS, Wi-Fi or VPN.

6. Specify the Identity Certificate in the payload:

EAS – Select the Payload Certificate under Login Information.

Wi-Fi – Select a compatible Security Type (WEP Enterprise, WPA/WPA2 Enterprise or Any (Enterprise)) and select the Identity Certificate under Authentication.

VPN – Select a compatible Connection Type (for example, CISCO AnyConnect, F5 SSL) and select Certificate from the User Authentication dropdown. Select the Identity Certificate.

7. Select Save & Publish when you are done configuring any remaining settings.
