What is mobile device management?

MDM or mobile device management is a security software that provides enterprises with adequate visibility and manageability to secure enrolled devices.

With increased adoption of smartphones in day-to-day business activities and the continued proliferation of these devices, businesses have raised concerns around corporate data security. Moreover, as businesses are embracing BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy, it has become even more important to secure corporate resources and prevent data leakage. Therefore, MDM software helps enterprises manage, monitor, and secure corporate as well as employee-owned devices to ensure security of corporate network while offering employees the ease to use their personal devices.

Evolution of MDM software

As organizations across the world are embracing mobile technology to enhance workforce productivity, the task to secure business resources accessed through these devices has become difficult for companies. Each and every device used in the enterprise represents a potentially vulnerable endpoint, thus posing a security threat to confidential corporate data. This is where the field of mobile device management evolved. MDM software provides employees the ease to access corporate data anytime anywhere without compromising on security. It empowers organizations to monitor employee activity and detect compliance violations to secure business data.
