Context-aware policy engine for remote workers
When employees sit behind a desk in the company office, connected to a corporate network, IT leaders can rest easy. Protected by a combination of firewalls, web gateways and other security products, security leaders can feel confident that workers are compliant, productive and protected from threats. Challenges emerge when a worker changes device, leaves the office and connects to an unknown network – those controls are no longer available. NetMotion provides organisations with a way to implement policy even on networks they don’t own.
Understand Context
Remote workers can work pretty much anywhere, from their home lounge to an airport lounge. NetMotion allows you to set policies that account for the context of every device in each moment. Policies can be dependent on location, device, user, credentials, network type, traffic destination, OS version, application, risk profile, the resource being requested and much more.
Control Everything
Create sophisticated, granular policies that take keep workers secure, happy and on-task. The robust, easy-to-use policy engine allows you to apply blocks to risky content, restrict access to company resources, optimise network connections, alert administrators, prioritise applications and take countless other policy actions.

Cellular and WiFi bandwidth availability is highly variable at best. QoS-related policies give key business and real-time applications (Voice Calls) the highest priority.
Many applications were not designed for intermittent or low bandwidth mobile data networks, and using them may slow the performance of a device, making it unusable for periods and reducing employee performance. Policies can control access of these applications to prevent users from actions that may inadvertently impact their productivity and use of a device.
Mobile data access comes at a high cost. Unregulated use of personal applications can reduce productivity and impact a worker’s performance. Depending on corporate rules, NetMotion Policies can restrict the use of personal applications to certain times of day, from specific locations, or only while connected to company-paid mobile data.
Some applications, updates or patches may consume large amounts of data and are best reserved when not using expensive mobile data. Networks that do not incur data charges. NetMotion Policies give IT the ability to block individual applications, allow their access only on specific networks or under specific conditions, or restrict specific types of data flows to keep them off of expensive mobile data networks ultimately.

NetMotion Policies can automatically launch the NetMotion Diagnostics application to gather troubleshooting information on the device configuration and analyse each layer of the network stack. Administrators can specify that when the WFH employee device has connected to the server but is unable to contact it, that diagnostics should be immediately launched enabling IT to determine the root cause quickly, remediate the situation and get the worker productively using the device again
