Mobile Device Management
What is Mobile Device Management?
MDM, or Mobile Device Management, is a security software that allows Information Technology Managers the ability to remotely monitor and secure Mobile Devices. This allows IT to enforce policies across these platforms seamlessly all while maintaining user flexibility. Mobile devices becoming more popular in work spaces is driving the demand for these security solutions.
Purpose of Mobile Device Management
MDM Software focuses on the corporate data storages to secure emails all while maintaining and troubleshooting equipment remotely. This allows corporations to increase productivity while lowering costs. Mobile Device Management tools allow businesses to oversee the entirety of the devices currently under management, allowing the business to focus on core functions. MDM helps businesses fix the security issues around BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), which is becoming a very popular model amongst companies because it can be less expensive. Companies can no longer comfortably deal with the amount of applications on each individual device leading to support and operational issues. With MDM, not only are companies less prone to security breaches, but maintenance costs will also lower significantly.
MDM Sources
Microsoft has developed a cloud based service called Intune that focuses solely on Mobile Device Management. Microsoft Intune allows companies to control how their devices/applications are being used for work while keeping them secure and private from malicious intent. Airwatch is a very similar Mobile Device Management solution to Intune. Airwatch has made the enrollment process seamless by employing an IT team for large scale deployment. MDM is made to be very simple, by technologies like Intune and Airwatch, for companies to get started.
