Let's dive into Mobile Device Management

But first, what is the current mobile landscape?

Almost every employee uses a mobile device (phone, tablet or laptop) to complete their job. Sometimes, these mobile devices are issued by the employer, and other times, these are bring-your-own-devices (BYOD).

What are the risks associated with accessing company data on a mobile device?

When employees access company data (text messages, emails, videos, contact information, or even photos and videos) on a mobile device, you are at risk of not protecting that data. If an employee exits your organisation and takes their BYOD with them, or more concerningly, loses their BYOD, then your company data is at risk of a cyber-attack.

 

With cyber-attacks becoming more frequent and sophisticated, businesses must ensure that their data protection systems are as robust as possible.

So, how can we help? Introducing MDM

MDM is the ability to apply security and controls to employee mobile devices, whether BYOD or company-issued. MDM setting can be applied to individuals, groups, or company-wide.
