MobileIron enables ACOSS to secure mobile
productivity across a global infrastructure
MobileIron (NASDAQ:MOBL), the company that introduced the
industry’s first mobile-centric, zero trust platform for the
enterprise, today announced that the Agence Centrale des Organismes
de Securite Sociale (ACOSS), a public services agency based in
Montreuil, Île-de-France, is leveraging MobileIron to achieve high
security and accelerate mobile innovation. ACOSS is part of URSSAF,
a network of private organizations that collects social security
contributions to support the four areas covered by the French
social security system: sickness, family, aging, and work-related
accidents and illnesses.
ACOSS and the URSSAF network have offices throughout France,
including overseas regions such as Réunion, Martinique, Mayotte,
and French Polynesia, which are located outside of mainland France.
To improve productivity and service delivery across this global
infrastructure, the organization needed to modernize its mobile
environment and foster more technology innovation. To support these
business objectives, ACOSS expanded the use of Android mobile
devices and provided access to modern applications like Microsoft
Office 365 — all secured by MobileIron.
“MobileIron Access was the best solution that met all of our
needs in the shortest implementation time,” said Wissam Jammal, IT
Engineer at ACOSS. “Not only can we block anyone on any unmanaged
device from accessing Office 365, we also benefit from having a
solution that allows us to easily manage and deploy smartphones on
site. We can also leverage native app containerization through
MobileIron and Android Enterprise. And, because MobileIron is
completely device- and application-agnostic, we can confidently
support more devices such as Android 10.”
MobileIron Access helps simplify Office 365 security by
providing a single point of access from any device. Previously,
employees could only use Office 365 applications from their office
desktops, which greatly limited productivity for employees working
offsite. Now, employees can simply authenticate to Office 365 using
multi-factor authentication (MFA) or single sign-on (SSO) on any
device.
“By providing secure work apps on company devices, employees can
perform critical tasks no matter where they are working. Our
employees can easily collaborate across our network of 120 offices,
and our IT organization can ensure that our cloud apps are secure,”
said Jammal.
Looking ahead, ACOSS plans to support zero sign-on (ZSO)
authentication through MobileIron Access. ZSO enables organizations
to eliminate passwords and provide a more secure and frictionless
authentication experience from any device without the hassle of
remembering and typing in passwords. By eliminating passwords, ZSO
also helps prevent enterprise data breaches caused by stolen or
compromised credentials.
“It’s an honor that ACOSS selected our mobile-centric, zero
trust enterprise security platform to accelerate mobile innovation
and secure Office 365 apps and data,” said Simon Biddiscombe, CEO,
MobileIron. “We look forward to continuing to help them meet their
mobility needs and tackle the latest security challenges, without
sacrificing productivity.”

About ACOSS
The Agence Centrale des Organismes de Securite Sociale (ACOSS)
is a public services agency based in Montreuil, Île-de-France.
ACOSS is part of URSSAF, a network of private organizations created
in 1960 whose main task is to collect social security contributions
from employees and employers who finance the French social security
system. Since its creation in 1967, ACOSS has seen its missions
constantly evolve, notably by extending its collection role to all
social protection funds including unemployment insurance. Through
its network, ACOSS collects the contributions that support the four

ACOSS supports the URSSAF network by defining guidelines for the

as reimbursement of medical care or maternity leave, retirement
pensions, and family allowances.
About MobileIron
MobileIron is redefining enterprise security with the industry’s
first mobile-centric, zero trust platform built on the foundation
of unified endpoint management (UEM) to secure access and protect
data across the perimeter-less enterprise. Zero trust assumes that
bad actors are already in the network and secure access is
determined by a “never trust, always verify” approach. MobileIron
goes beyond identity management and gateway approaches by utilizing
a more comprehensive set of attributes before granting access. A
mobile-centric, zero trust approach validates the device,
establishes user context, checks app authorization, verifies the
network, and detects and remediates threats before granting secure
access to a device or user.
The MobileIron security platform is built on the foundation of
award-winning and industry-leading unified endpoint management
(UEM) capabilities with additional zero trust-enabling
technologies, including zero sign-on (ZSO), multi-factor
authentication (MFA), and mobile threat defense (MTD). Over 19,000
customers, including the world’s largest financial institutions,
intelligence agencies and other highly regulated companies, have
chosen MobileIron to enable a seamless and secure user experience
by ensuring only authorized users, devices, apps, and services can
access business resources.
