MobileIron Sentry is a key component of the MobileIron Platform. Sentry is an in-line gateway which manages, encrypts, and secures traffic between a mobile device and back-end enterprise systems.

MobileIron Sentry interacts with a company’s ActiveSync server, such as a Microsoft Exchange Server. The ActiveSync server allows employees to access email, contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes from their mobile devices. MobileIron Sentry, with input from the Virtual Smartphone Platform (VSP), protects the ActiveSync server from unauthorized access. MobileIron VSP provides end-to-end security and management for apps, documents, and devices. IT can now establish a virtual perimeter to secure business data without compromising the privacy of data, even on employee-owned smartphones and tablets.

A LoadMaster can be used to load balance the MobileIron workload.
