Employees need access to corporate content on-the-go to stay productive. Many employees are taking advantage of free file synchronization and sharing services to access sensitive documents, putting corporate data at risk. AirWatch® Content Locker enables secure mobile access to content anytime, anywhere to keep sensitive data from ending up in the wrong hands.

AirWatch Content Locker protects sensitive content in a corporate container and provides users with a central application to securely access, store, update and distribute the latest documents from their mobile devices. With flexible content storage, enterprise-grade security, data loss prevention (DLP), built-in file syncing and sharing and document editing, AirWatch Content Locker furthers employee collaboration and productivity. Administrators also gain control over who receives content according to customizable role-based access, further reducing the threat of sensitive data leakage. Additionally, by providing employees the latest corporate content on mobile devices, organizations can substantially reduce printing, paper and shipping costs.

AirWatch Content Locker enables enterprises of any size to manage devices, monitor activity and deploy content and information on a global scale. Threats of sensitive data leakage can be controlled in many ways, including encryption, sharing restrictions and content assignment to users on a per-file basis. Content can be configured and monitored through a unified, Web-based console, enabling enterprises to reduce the number of administrators required for management. AirWatch Content Locker integrates with more than 33 supported content repositories enterprises already use, ensuring there are minimal additional costs with incorporating content management. Administrators can set authentication methods, such as AD/LDAP and certificates, to protect sensitive files while enabling the right employees access when they need it. Enterprises can ensure corporate data is protected on devices through application and device restrictions configurable through the built-in AirWatch Compliance Engine.

Many AirWatch Content Locker customers are saving on printing costs, increasing efficiency and collaboration among employees and protecting sensitive corporate information on their mobile devices. For example, United Airlines transferred flight manuals to electronic flight bags and stored them securely in AirWatch Content Locker. Taking the weight of the flight bags from 45 pounds to one and a half pounds has resulted in serious savings: United Airlines has saved 16 million sheets of paper and about 326,000 gallons of fuel per year. Another company, Graham Construction, uses AirWatch to manage its tablet fleet for secure document storage and sharing, leading to a $150,000 savings in paper and printing costs alone. In France, Giochi Preziosi, uses AirWatch Content Locker to remotely update and archive the company’s digital product catalogs and price lists on tablets, saving around €40,000 per year on printing costs and compact disc production.

Supporting its over 15,000 customers in keeping corporate data secure, AirWatch® by VMware® will continue to develop AirWatch Content Locker alongside its fully comprehensive management suite to support any use business use case.
