iPhone can also be used for business use by public institutions, National Intelligence Service releases security requirements = Korea

The National Intelligence Service (NIS) announced on January 11th that when iPhones are introduced to public institutions for business use, they will be used as standards for verifying compatibility with security regulations. Matters was released on the website of the hospital and the website of the National Cyber Security Center.

According to this, security administrators of public institutions can effectively control hardware such as cameras and microphones when introducing the iPhone product series for business purposes, and if users lose their iPhones, they can remotely lock or reset them.

According to the hospital, "Until now, there have been many requests to make it possible to use not only Android smartphones but also iPhones for business purposes at public institutions. Recently, Apple has made iPhones compatible with mobile device management (MDM) functions. We have determined that development is possible because we have satisfied the requirements of the Korean government."

Initially, the hospital had a policy of only allowing business use of iPhones owned by public institutions. The iPhone owned by the company can also be registered for business use by following the prescribed procedure. Furthermore, the institution will decide whether to use an Android smartphone or an iPhone for business use.
