FileMaker Go Security on Mobile Devices

Intermediate

Mobile-specific security considerations for solutions deployed on iOS with FileMaker Go.

What you'll learn

  • Data caching behavior in FileMaker Go
  • Device-level security: passcode, biometrics, encryption
  • MDM integration for enterprise mobile security
  • Offline solutions and security implications

FileMaker Go turns an iPhone or iPad into a FileMaker client. Mobile deployments have distinct security concerns: device theft, offline data caching, biometric authentication, and MDM (Mobile Device Management) integration. Security decisions for FileMaker Go require considering both the app and the device.

Data caching in FileMaker Go

FileMaker Go caches data locally for performance. When the app is backgrounded, cached data remains on the device. When the device is stolen or lost, this cache is a risk if the device is not encrypted. iOS encrypts data at rest when a passcode is set -- requiring a passcode is the single most important mobile security step.
