MDM features
MDM solutions are a core component of Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions as a whole. Specializing in the monitoring and control of wearable devices, MDM solutions have a set of components that provide employers with the access they need.
Application Security
Application security features allow IT administrators to containerize individual applications on user devices. This allows them to determine whether users must authenticate their identity before accessing the application.
Secure Access also allows administrators to control an application’s capabilities, such as preventing the copying and transfer of in-app data.
Device Tracking
Device tracking allows businesses to use GPS to locate devices. It also allows them to monitor, update and troubleshoot devices remotely and in real time.
With this feature, devices can be flagged for unsafe behavior or wiped if they are lost or stolen without the possibility of recovery.
Mobile management
Centralized mobile management allows IT departments to manage and provide support for devices remotely. This allows them to install and remove apps accordingly and troubleshoot functionality.
Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Businesses can use personal and company-assigned devices to validate identities. This enables role-based access capabilities, as well as single sign-on (SSO) functionality.
MDM Benefits
At their core, MDM programs are security and management solutions that enable businesses to maintain security, efficiency, and workforce productivity. Other benefits of MDM include:
- Simplified device update and support
- Improved app control
- Reliable device tracking
- Remote and centralized access capabilities
- Increase the efficiency and productivity of IT teams
- Improved compliance with device regulations
“Workers don’t want to be over-managed and IT departments don’t want security holes. To meet in the middle, employers need to find the right place,” says Dean Hagermember of the Forbes Technology Council.
“With MDM tools built for BYOD and modern, privacy-friendly security solutions like ZTNA, any size employer can connect, protect and manage their systems while maintaining employee satisfaction. .”
MDM use cases
MDM solutions are flexible and can be implemented in different ways to meet a company’s specific needs and demands.
