iPad, iPhone app promises to secure confidential documents

With the latest update to WatchDox for iOS, enterprise users of iPads and iPhones can now annotate confidential documents on their devices without compromising security, according to the company.

Recently released as a free iTunes download WatchDox 2.5.0 coupled with WatchDox's subscription-based services deliver the first enterprise-grade secure environment for high-fidelity document viewing, synchronization and annotation on iPads and iPhones, said Ryan Kalember, vice president of strategy for WatchDox.

The BYOD popularity of iPads and iPhones can put at risk confidential documents stored or accessed from those consumer devices, which weren't built with enterprise security in mind. The WatchDox iOS app enables enterprise users in financial services, manufacturing and other industries to securely view documents (usually as PDFs) on iPads and iPhones.
