Mobile Device Management Can Improve Your Business’ Security

Mobile Device Management Can Improve Your Business’ Security

November 22, 2024

Since mobile technology infiltrated the mainstream office, businesses have embraced it as a valuable communication tool. That said, mobile devices are also keys allowing hackers and other potential thieves access to your most inner sanctums. Today, we want to go over some of the options you have for mobile device management and why it’s such an important concept for your business.

The horror of a misplaced device is not lost on us—if anything, it’s a fresh hell that the industry deals with on a regular basis.

Misplaced mobile devices can cost your business in both money, productivity and reputation, so you need to take action to keep track of these devices. We recommend a Mobile Device Management (MDM) tool for this purpose. You’ll be able to keep tabs on your company-owned devices, even if your team uses a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) strategy.

Let’s discuss the nitty-gritty details of the MDM.

Mobile Device Management in Action

MDM allows your business to control and secure mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.

With MDM, you can enforce company policies using the following features:

  • Centralized management - A dashboard to help admins control business devices.
  • Security - Several security features including encryption, password management, passcode enforcement, remote access/lock/wipe, and robust malware protection.
  • App management - Whitelist or blacklist apps, control distribution, and apply crucial software updates.
  • Tracking - MDM gives your business more visibility into device location, the status of the mobile device, and usage reports.
  • Policy enforcement - Work within compliance standards with your MDM platform.
  • Support - If you need more support, we’re happy to assist you with your MDM solution.

The right MDM solution can keep your business safe from problems like mobile theft, loss, unauthorized access, and so much more. It’s really a no-brainer solution to implement. To learn more about how you can get started with MDM today, call us at (571) 470-5594.
