42Gears offers Network Traffic Analytics for iOS devices which can be used by IT to monitor network traffic on enrolled devices. Having this data at their disposal, IT pros can investigate all security breaches that occur in the network. Additionally, the analytical data can provide insights on internet usage patterns of enrolled devices.
Companies that allow employees to freely browse any application or URL on work devices can analyze network traffic and block potentially malicious URLs before they affect the device.
Note: This feature only works on supervised iOS devices.
