Abstract
Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for securing enterprise data in a mobile computing environment. Aspects include receiving, by an application disposed on a mobile computing device, a request to access the enterprise data stored on the mobile computing device in an encrypted format and determining whether the mobile computing device is in communication with an enterprise network. Based on determining that the mobile computing device is in communication with the enterprise network, aspects include transmitting a decryption request to an encryption application disposed on the enterprise network, receiving the enterprise data in an unencrypted format from the enterprise network and granting access to the enterprise data in an unencrypted format to the application. Based on a determination that the mobile computing device is not communication with the enterprise network, aspects also include denying the request to access the enterprise data.
