Core Components Include a New Model for Enterprise Application Discovery and Zero-Touch Security

MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, June 21, 2010 - MobileIron, the innovator in multi-OS smartphone management, today
announced a broad set of capabilities to accelerate the adoption of iPhones
in the enterprise. MobileIron's new application discovery, zero-touch
security, and real-time cost control services leverage the APIs available
with iPhone 4 and iOS 4 to provide the first complete management solution for
iPhone, iPod, and iPad. MobileIron enables IT organizations to secure and
manage iOS 4 devices end-to-end while preserving the full user experience of
the platform.

"The heart of the iPhone is apps," said Bob Tinker, CEO of MobileIron.
"With over 200,000 apps in the App Store, developers have proven the power of
the iPhone platform to deliver apps that matter. With MobileIron for iOS 4,
businesses can now take advantage of that same power to easily develop,
secure, and publish their own in-house apps to their employees. iOS 4 is a
watershed release for the industry that will catalyze mobile application
development and shift the battle for the mobile enterprise from email to
apps."

MobileIron for iOS 4 addresses three core enterprise requirements:

    - Application discovery: For the first time, application discovery for
      in-house apps will be easy for both IT and the end-user. IT can publish
      a catalog of the company's in-house apps for users to download
      over-the-air, without iTunes required. Different apps can be made
      available for different users, based on policy. For example, the sales
      team might have access to CRM and expense reporting apps while the
      engineering team has access to knowledge management and collaborative
      apps. IT can now also maintain an accurate inventory of what apps are
      on what iPhones and restrict access to enterprise email if
      non-compliant apps are present.
    - Zero-touch security: User intervention is no longer required to update
      iPhone security and application configuration profiles. IT can now push
      profiles to iPhones without requiring any action on the part of the
      user. Certificates can be used to authenticate user and device identity.
      All devices accessing the enterprise can now be managed 24x7, with
      constant management connectivity. Modified iPhones can be kept out of
      the enterprise and all iPhones can be kept up-to-date and in-sync with
      corporate security policy.
    - Real-time cost control: One of the largest and most unpredictable
      business telecom costs is data roaming charges from apps and web
      browsing. With MobileIron for iOS 4, IT can now monitor international
      roaming in real-time. Whenever an iPhone user travels to a new country,
      both the user and IT are notified to ensure that costs are tightly
      managed and service plans are appropriate.

MobileIron for iOS 4 strengthens iPhone security and manageability for
all organizations, regardless of whether they are deploying just email or
email plus apps. However, as apps usage in the enterprise explodes,
MobileIron's management platform will allow IT to keep pace with both iPhone
innovation and user demand.

The MobileIron App is available from the App Store on iPhone, iPad and
iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/, and is used in conjunction
with MobileIron's enterprise mobility platform. MobileIron's current suite of
security and management functionality is available for iOS 4 at launch in
June 2010. MobileIron's application discovery, zero-touch security, and
real-time cost control features for iOS 4 will be available in calendar Q3.
