If you're a developer interested in building secure Android apps for Enterprise, you might want to register for the Building Secure Android Apps for the Enterprise webcast taking place on May 21, 2015. The hour-long event will kick off at 11am EDT and is being hosted by BlackBerry Dev.
Developing apps for enterprise can be a challenge as enterprise-grade applications are more than just app code. Enterprise apps operate in a container of their own where security is a forethought not bolted on, connecting to corporate assets which resides behind the firewall, thus protecting Data-at-Rest on mobile devices and securing Data-in-Transport becomes inevitable. Enterprise apps are manageable, deployed not downloaded and controlled by corporate IT rules and policies.
In this session, we will also walk you through current trends, the four pillars of enterprise app development, and how BlackBerry® Enterprise Service 12 (BES12) provides the most secure and flexible ways to manage Android apps on android smartphones and tablets regardless of how enterprises choose to manage Android devices – Android for work, Samsung KNOX or Secure Work Space (SWS).
With Android for Work now officially rolled out, interest in that space is sure to increase and this webcast would be a great starting point. Registrations are live right now, so be sure to sign up if you're interested.
