In this age of security leaks and hackers businesses are always looking for promising systems that can protect data and employee devices.

A new company, Authenic8 , has developed the product "Silo". This Silo app has a highly secure containment.  Silo stands out because mobile employees it is valuable when using personal devices over insecure networks.

Authentic8 stated the following their launch of Silo.  "Each time they launch Silo, users get a freshly built browsing environment with SSO links to provisioned apps. All web code is contained within Silo, meaning apps are insulated from exploits, and business data is kept separate from personal browsing. Users interact with a benign display of the web app, keeping all web code off the device. And at session end Silo is destroyed along with all transient browsing data, leaving the device and server stateless. With Silo, your web apps live beyond the reach of network, client-side or web borne exploits."

Ken Hess for Consumerization asked the team of  Authentic8 the following question.:
"What happens if the user hits a site that's been compromised? Can it have any negative affect on the user's device?"
The team answered:
The answer is, "No". And the reason is that your web application isn't running on your device. It runs in the cloud, in a sandboxed environment. Your device is not directly attached to the web service in any way. So, imagine the worst, most devious virus or malware possible that's infected a site that you have setup to access in Silo.

 Watch a video demonstration of Authenic8's Silo in action.
