We manage a large enterprise fleet and are evaluating Hexnode’s Secure content container for enterprise file distribution and DLP. How effective is it in preventing data leakage while still keeping distribution scalable?
Secure Enterprise Content Management with Hexnode..how effective is it?Solved

@carter , We’ve been running this in production for about a year. On iOS/macOS, Managed Apps and Open-In restrictions work well with the corporate files staying within approved apps. Users can’t move documents to personal apps or cloud storage.
On Android, similarly, the Work Profile gives full isolation. Corporate data is invisible to personal apps, which keeps things clean and predictable.
From a scale perspective, DAFS made the biggest difference for us. Large files are fulfilled from regional nodes over LAN instead of hitting the WAN every time. It significantly reduced rollout times and network load. Pre-staging files on DAFS nodes is important for large deployments.
How deep are the DLP controls? Specifically looking to restrict copy/paste, screenshots, and file sharing like AirDrop.
@raelynn , Hexnode UEM enforces DLP at the OS interaction level, not just within apps.
Key controls include:
-
Clipboard restrictions (work → personal)
-
Screenshot and screen recording blocking
-
AirDrop, Bluetooth, and unmanaged sharing disabled for work files
-
Uploads limited to approved managed domains
Selective wipe is also supported, allowing removal of corporate content without affecting personal data.
Any prerequisites before rolling this out globally?
@roosevelt , Just ensure devices are on the latest Hexnode agent, upload corporate root certificates, define Managed Open-In rules, map documents to the correct OUs, and pre-stage large files on DAFS nodes.
