Apple Support Forum: Possible Unified mailbox iPad security issue after iOS 4.2 upgrade?04/01/2011 06:07:52 PM

I'm glad that I posted about some issues with Lotus Traveler on iOS devices recently. My first real experience with those devices in an enterprise setting was eye-opening. Two comments on that post, from Declan Lynch and Volker Weber alluded to another "issue" - that of iOS and not Lotus Traveler.
Seems I am not the only one to voice my "concern."
A good thread, with several responses, including this one:
"Hello, Apple? I'd like to request a slight modification . . . . "

On an iPad with multiple email accounts (Gmail, Yahoo & Exchange Active Sync) you are able to forward an Enterprise email received in Exchange Active Sync out through a personal email account. This has been reproduced multiple times with the following configuration. The order of operations does not seem to matter.

It doesn't seem to be something that's getting a lot of publicity on the web but would appear to be a significant risk for companies.
I don't think it's possible to limit iPads to only corporate mail either natively or using any 3rd party management software, so that leaves the only solution to be some sort of encrypted sandbox for corporate mail along the lines of Good Technology or similar. Unless you can force some sort of persistent VPN through some other mgmt software and monitor all traffic ... doesn't seem ideal but maybe it would work.

Oh, for Pete's sake! Any email can be forwarded through any account on any device. You just copy and paste! Or are just concerned when only idiots can perform the feat?

Hey, I suggested this was the problem, although it was a guess on my part based on the fact it was unheard of until that update a few days prior.
But seriously devices will be less secure in time, not more secure. I have a theory about this will be posting this week.
