What is Mobile Device Management(MDM)

Mobile Device Management (MDM) most simply put is a software meant for managing laptops, smartphones, tablets, etc. in a business environment.

MDM includes:

  • Storing information about mobile devices
  • What applications are allowed to be installed and run on mobile devices
  • Locating devices and making sure lost or stolen devices are secured

    With Mobile Device Management an MDM server exists in a data center that corresponds to a MDM agent that exists in a mobile device.

Why is Mobile Device Management important?

With more people working from home it is becoming increasingly important that employees are secured at home as well as in the office. Even without COVID-19 pandemic most people are beginning to favor using personal mobile devices that can be taken on the go as opposed to large desktops that have to reside in one place.
