Adopting workplace mobility is an imperative for organizations to achieve higher productivity, increased employee satisfaction, and lower operating costs. But for many high-security workplaces, these benefits have remained out of reach—until now. With Booz Allen's District Defend®, you no longer need to sacrifice mobility for the sake of security. You can have both. Move from the boardroom to a classified space to every room in between on a single, secure device. Installed on laptops and tablets, District Defend automatically matches the security settings of a device to the security requirements of its physical location. Using a single device equipped with District Defend, employees are truly mobile—freed from keeping track of multiple devices for different security settings. This not only makes compliance with security protocols effortless, but it also enhances mission capabilities while migrating risks and reducing costs. District Defend can change a mobile device's security settings using multiple contextual triggers:

• Physical location
• Network connectivity status
• Time-based permissions
• Individual employee characteristics (e.g., title, department or security clearance)

How It Works Unlike other mobile technologies and existing solutions, District Defend is applied below the operating system. This enables a secure enterprise workforce and mobility without compromise. District Defend secures devices through centrally administered, situation-based controls. Using an intuitive web application, administrators can easily set policies that automatically reconfigure the security posture of individual devices. Policies can be enforced at the individual, group, and enterprise level. Key Features and Benefits Eliminates Reliance on Staff Compliance Automated enforcement ensures that your mobile employees are working securely, wherever they happen to be, without relying on end users to maintain compliance. Protects Where Mobile Device Management (MDM) Can’t Unlike MDM solutions, District Defend is part of a device's firmware, protecting against a wider range of threats—even during the boot process when it's most vulnerable. Controls Devices Even When They’re Off District Defend uses radio frequency identification (RFID) to communicate with devices even when powered down, so they never miss a beat—as soon as devices turn on, they automatically adjust to the appropriate setting. Reveals Where Your Devices Are District Defend gives your administrators full insight into the last-known location of enterprise IT assets. Defend Against the Threat of Lost or Stolen Devices In addition to vigorous anti-tampering mechanisms, District Defend enforces data-at-rest encryption and enables pre-boot full disk wipes to ensure long-term data protection.
