6.0.25 Safe to install
The iboss cloud Lite app offers a solution for managing web security across iOS devices without the need for proxy configurations. Designed specifically to integrate with the iboss Secure Web Gateway (SWG), it facilitates transparent single sign-on authentication and provides detailed user-based reporting. This application is particularly beneficial for organizations seeking to enforce web security measures and access policies on a variety of iOS devices, regardless of their location.
Key features include:
- Seamless extension of iboss role-based web security and access policies across iOS devices, whether in-office, remote, or at home.
- Enhanced end-user experience leading to a noticeable decrease in help desk inquiries.
Implementation is straightforward; network administrators can easily deploy the app through their Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. Activation is accomplished via an appropriate MDM Content Filtering profile. For on-premises use, the app automatically associates iOS devices with directory or user group security policies. When off-premises, it intelligently detects the change and continues to filter traffic requests without requiring a proxy. All user activities are monitored through the centralized iboss Threat and Event Console, guaranteeing ongoing security and compliance.
Please note that a firmware version of 8.2.0.90 or higher is required for the iboss SWG.

Pros
- Proxy-free web security for iOS — filters traffic without requiring an explicit proxy or VPN, simplifying user experience.
- Transparent single sign-on (SSO) and user-based reporting — integrates user identity into policy enforcement and reporting.
- Extends iboss role-based web security and access policies to devices both on-premises and off-premises (traveling/home).
- Centralized management — activity and policy enforcement are managed through the iboss Threat and Event Console for consistent enforcement and compliance.
- Easy deployment via MDM — administrators can push the app through existing MDM solutions and activate with an MDM Content Filtering profile.
- Small app footprint — 14.8 MB, iOS 12.0+ compatibility (broad support across modern iOS/iPadOS devices).
- No on-device proxy required — aims to reduce help-desk calls and improve end-user experience compared with proxy-based approaches.
- Works with iboss Secure Web Gateway (SWG) to enforce network-level policies when integrated properly.
Cons
- Deprecated: the app will be deprecated on July 1, 2024; customers must transition to the iboss iOS Gen2 connector — not suitable for new long-term deployments.
- Requires specific iboss SWG firmware (8.2.0.90 or higher) and iboss infrastructure — adds dependency and potential upgrade overhead.
- iOS-only solution — functionality limited to Apple device family; organizations with mixed-device fleets need additional solutions for other platforms.
- Depends on MDM for deployment and activation — environments without MDM or with limited MDM control may face deployment challenges.
- Privacy and telemetry: developer notes collection of identifiers (device ID) and crash diagnostics — may raise concerns for privacy-sensitive deployments or regulated environments.
- Low visible public feedback/ratings — only a few App Store ratings (4 ratings) which limits publicly available user experience insights.
- Last notable updates listed in 2023 — possible limited ongoing feature development given deprecation and infrequent visible updates.
