The main objective of the Mobile Management System (MDM) is to surveil, manage and secure the mobile devices, smartphones, laptops, tablets, and Internet of Things (IoT) in the workplace in order to enhance corporate data security. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy in the organization allows employees to bring and use their own mobile devices in an enterprise workflow. With BYOD, they can share digital services with employees to connect and communicate and allow them to access organization data that increases the threat for the company’s sensitive data security and privacy. Mobile Data Management or MDM ensures security by managing, securing and monitoring all devices in a corporation and keeps the sensitive information safe & sound. 

Advantages of Mobile Management system

Lower Workload and Save Time

The use of a Mobile Management System helps the IT admins and make their work easy by automating the whole process of monitoring, managing, securing, and configure devices in bulk remotely and thus reduces the workload & save the time of IT professionals that can be used to enhance the productivity of an organization. 

Install Essential Updates

Most of the users do not turn on the Automatic Updates of their device and other required apps that leave the entire company’s network at the risk of cyber-attack. Hackers can easily find the loopholes to enter one’s device and hack the sensitive information of an organization at the time of data transfer or exchange. MDM has the ability to automatically update all necessary software and secure the data through the firewall. Thus, it provides more security for android terminal users and allows them to work efficiently and freely. No third-party app or any Malware will be installed in the device if the software and applications are regularly updated by MDM.

Remote Management

This is the most significant benefit of the Mobile Management System that allows the IT department to manage and monitor the authorized user and their device connected to the company’s network. It protects the company’s network by disabling unauthorized users and thus prevents vulnerable viruses. 

BYOD Policy

Conventional organizations did not allow the entrance of their employees with their mobile or any other unrecognized devices. The introduction of MDM controlled the security issue associated with employee’s devices by keeping an eye on them remotely and solved the problem of workers who carry more than one device with them. This is also beneficial for the organization as they do not need to pay an extra amount for devices.

Automatic Separation

Automatic Separation or Deletion is another great benefit of the Mobile Management System as it allows the system admin to remove the temporary and unnecessary files from the devices automatically. MDM makes sure the deletion of corporate data from the employee’s device in case of device stolen or lost for any reason. When an employee makes a decision to resign a company then MDM automatically separates the corporate information from their devices without making any changes in their personal data. 

Now, it’s clear that securing mobile devices in the workplace is the first step to tighten the security of the organization.
