Additional Security Enhancements

You can add an extra layer of security for your iOS users by clearing the contents of their clipboard whenever the mobile app is in the background.

Users may copy and paste sensitive data as a part of their day-to-day operations, and this enhancement ensures any data they copy onto their clipboards is cleared whenever they background the app.

MDM Settings for More Security Enhancements

To clear the clipboards of your iOS users when the mobile app is in the background, you configure key-value pair assignments through your MDM suite.

Here’s the supported key:

Key	Data Type	Platform	Description
`ClearClipboardOnBackground`	Boolean	iOS	If true, the contents of the iOS clipboard are cleared when the mobile app is backgrounded. This prevents the user from accidentally copying and pasting sensitive data outside of the app.

Note If the mobile app stops working unexpectedly, the copied data can remain on the clipboard. The contents of the clipboard are cleared when the user starts and backgrounds the mobile app.

This security functionality is available for Android devices running OS 5.0 and greater, and that have Android for Work set up. Contact your MDM provider to configure this functionality for your Android users.
