Fixmo creates a secured, encrypted container, the SafeZone, providing secure mobile messaging and data for businesses.
Companies allow mobile devices into their own SafeZone and can restrict application and data access ensuring device integrity and compliance. A safe, sandboxed environment is created in which mobile devices can run and access network resources without compromising the internal network’s safety.
