Abstract
Methods and systems for preventing unsecured mobile applications from accessing encrypted resources are presented. In some embodiments, a mobile device may determine that a background process associated with a mobile application is requesting to access an encrypted resource. The mobile device may further determine whether the mobile application has been secured with authentication information. In response to determining that the mobile application has not been secured, the mobile device may suspend the background process until the mobile application has been secured and transmit a request to a mobile application management agent to secure the mobile application using authentication information.
