SPHERESHIELD FOR SKYPE FOR BUSINESS

How It Works Section
Secure mobile access

Connecting devices to corporate networks from non-managed external networks and public Wi-Fi networks poses critical security threats. Corporate credentials stored on mobile devices can be hacked or stolen.

Low device security can enable hackers using Active Directory usernames and passwords to access core business applications and view emails and other data unnoticed.

SphereShield for Skype for Business allows users to connect safely to a Microsoft Skype for Business server from smartphones and other external devices while protecting the organization's sensitive data.

  • Protect sensitive business data while users connect from external devices.

  • Determine which mobile devices are granted access to the system.
