CAPTOR Now Supports Screenshot Blocking Across All App Versions
Josh Bohls
We’re excited to introduce a powerful new security feature in CAPTOR for Ivanti and CAPTOR for Enterprise —the ability to block screenshots and screen recordings.
Taking screenshots and screen recordings with smart phones has always represented a clear and present danger to data leakage prevention efforts. The screenshots and recordings are saved to the native photos app, outside of the secure container and mixed in with personal photos (if the device is BYOD or COPE).
Android has long had app configuration options to help organizations prevent screenshots. iOS has been a vastly different story. Apple has only enabled screenshot restrictions when the device is supervised, which left MAM deployments unprotected.
In the last year, however, things are starting to change. BlackBerry Dynamics and Microsoft Intune now include options to block screenshots and screen recordings for iOS MAM deployments.
With the release of CAPTOR (iOS) v5.2.1 we can now make the claim that all versions of CAPTOR, iOS and Android, support this critical functionality.
Below is a video demo of the new restriction. You will notice that when it is enabled, the screen recording is blacked out, since we are using the exact iOS functionality that the feature blocks.
As a secure camera and document capture solution, CAPTOR empowers organizations to capture, manage, and protect sensitive photos and content within a controlled environment. However, until now, screenshots and screen recordings posed a security risk—they were saved directly to the native photos app, bypassing corporate security policies.
With this new feature for appconfig and Ivanti customers, CAPTOR now prevents screenshots and screen recordings, ensuring that captured content remains secure and within company control. This eliminates a major data leakage risk and further strengthens compliance for industries handling sensitive information, such as government, healthcare, and financial services.
Security and compliance are at the core of CAPTOR, and this enhancement is another step toward providing organizations with the most secure mobile capture solution available.
