IT staff can apply policies to those work profiles to restrict the flow of data, establish VPN connections and block app downloads from third-party marketplaces. Business apps can also be deployed and managed via Google Play for Work and mobility managers can remotely wipe an employee’s work profile without affecting personal apps or content.
