Application Data Storage

A mobile device may be lost or stolen at any time. Since mobile devices are small and designed to be highly portable, they may not remain under the physical control of a trusted person. Therefore, Salesforce provides methods to secure the device data if it passes out of control of the user or the user’s organization.

Salesforce has multiple levels of security at the handheld device level. First, device vendors provide the ability to enforce OS-level password access restrictions on any device apps or data. Users must be required to use the device protection in accordance with the owning enterprise’s security policy. If the device is locked by a strong password, it is difficult for unauthorized persons to do anything with it.

• Local Data Protection
  The data stored locally on the device is saved in the device’s embedded memory and never on an external memory card.
• Remote Wipe
  An org admin can restrict access to minimize the risk of information loss when a mobile device is compromised.
