MDM 101: Overview of Mobile Device Management [MDM]

• 1. What is mobile device management [MDM]?

  Mobile device management [MDM] is the process of enhancing corporate data security and user experience on the mobile devices used for work by monitoring and exercising corporate control over these devices. MDM is performed through mobile device management software and solutions that allow you to enroll, configure, manage, and secure enterprise- and employee-owned smartphones, laptops, tablets, rugged devices, and IoT devices across Apple OSs, Android, Windows, and Chrome OS.

• 2. Why do you need mobile device management [MDM]?

  Limiting corporate network access to on-premises devices might guarantee data security, but remote work and the use of mobile devices have now become standard practice. Restricting remote access to corporate resources could lead to mobile and distributed workforces becoming unproductive or, worse, resorting to shadow IT. However, granting open access to business-essential data invites a variety of security threats. This is where mobile device management helps you. MDM allows you to provide your workforce's mobile devices with secure remote access to sensitive corporate data by bringing these devices under your management.

• 3. What are the benefits of mobile device management [MDM]?

  Through enterprise mobile device management, you can remotely monitor and manage both enterprise- and employee-owned mobile devices from a single MDM console. This means you will be able to enforce your organization's security restrictions and policies across devices over the air and in real time, keeping them compliant with security standards. You can also distribute and update the necessary apps, content, and permissions, thereby keeping your workforce productive.

• 4. What is a mobile device management [MDM] solution?

  A mobile device management solution is a tool or software that allows you to implement comprehensive mobile device management within your organization. Mobile Device Manager Plus is a powerful MDM solution that lets you remotely monitor and secure the mobile devices in your organization, across Apple OSs, Android, Windows, and Chrome OS, from a unified console.

  Mobile device management software also lets you manage the apps, content, permissions, and configurations of the devices used within your organization.

• 5. What are the must-have features of mobile device management [MDM] software?

  A good MDM tool should let you:

  • Comprehensively manage all the mobile devices in your organization from a central server.
  • Enroll both corporate and personal mobile devices over the air and in bulk with a range of enrollment options.
  • Quickly enforce security restrictions and policies on devices by applying configuration profiles.
  • Distribute required apps and content to devices and facilitate secure access to them.
  • Easily manage your overall device inventory with automated report generation and options to gather granular details about any individual managed device.

• 6. How do mobile device management [MDM] solutions work?

  MDM tools typically have two key components: an MDM server and an MDM agent. The MDM server facilitates central remote management of devices, and any command that an IT admin wishes to execute on devices is done through the MDM server. The MDM agent is an app installed on managed devices to facilitate management.

• 7. What are the advantages of using a mobile device management [MDM] solution?

  Using an MDM solution vastly simplifies the entire process of device management and saves you time. You will not need to physically handle devices to control, configure, troubleshoot, reassign, or retire them. An MDM solution grants you a bird's-eye view of all the devices accessing corporate data, allowing you to take proactive and reactive security measures to keep data secure at all times. Modern MDM solutions can even be configured to automatically identify noncompliant devices and block them from accessing the corporate network. These are just a few of the many benefits that the right MDM solution can grant you.

• 8. Why do you need mobile device management [MDM] in BYOD environments?

  In BYOD environments, where employees use their personal devices for work, it can be tricky to ensure the security of corporate data without breaching the users' privacy. Using MDM, these personal devices are easily brought under corporate management through sending invites, scanning a QR code, or user self-enrollment.

  Through enterprise mobile device management software a virtual container can be created on the devices to store the distributed corporate data. This container will serve as a corporate workspace that is separate from the user's personal data and exclusively managed by the IT admin. Users may rest assured that their personal files remain private. When an employee leaves the organization, the container can be exclusively wiped, leaving any personal files untouched.

• 9. Why do you need mobile device management [MDM] in choose your own device [CYOD] and corporate-owned personally enabled [COPE] device environments?

  In organizations that purchase devices to distribute to workforces for both personal and corporate use, MDM helps make device purchase, provisioning, and management a seamless process. By integrating an MDM tool with portals like Apple Business Manager, IT admins can enroll and provision devices without even coming into contact with them, making them corporate-ready out of the box. Additionally, since these devices are owned by the organization, IT admins will also be able to exercise a greater amount of control over them compared to employee-owned devices using mobile management software.

• 10. Why do you need mobile device management [MDM] in corporate-owned business only [COBO] device environments?

  When enterprise-owned devices are meant to be used only for business, it is crucial to ensure workforces do not use them for unintended purposes. This includes anything from personal use to device misuse that could potentially result in the leaking of sensitive corporate data. MDM enables you to exercise control over the entire device and apply the necessary policies and restrictions to keep it secure and compliant.

  Downloads of unapproved apps and access to malicious web content can be blocked to maintain productivity. You can also lock devices to run only a single app or a specific set of apps, block access to unnecessary device functions, and even track locations to prevent misuse.

• 11. How does MDM help in educational institutions?

  With technology-enhanced learning programs surging in popularity, smart devices have become commonplace within learning environments. In educational institutions, different students use the same device at different times. MDM lets you configure devices like iPads as shared devices, creating a separate workspace for each student using it and enhancing their learning experience. Additionally, the necessary learning materials can be shared with managed devices over the air when required. Devices can also be locked to run only the examination app for the duration of a test, after which the devices will automatically exit the app.
