You’re Vulnerable. How Mobile Device Management Can Help

​Mobile devices aren’t just a mode of communication anymore. They’ve become essential business tools that help us to be more productive and efficient. Because they are so versatile, we store vital business data on them, and that is what makes them vulnerable.

MDM can help your IT professionals manage all of your company’s devices so you aren’t responsible for figuring out which weeds the next hacker is lurking in. The right MDM not only knows your company but knows its operating system inside and out, keeping it secure and flexible at the same time. 
 
MDM works on two levels; hardware and software. It can manage all of your company’s devices, no matter which brand or operating system. Members can use either company-issued devices or enroll their personal device. The system then monitors both behaviors and data usage to make sure you’re the one using it. Analysis happens through AI and algorithms. With MDM tools, a business can maintain a secure electronic environment by tracking, monitoring, troubleshooting, and even wiping a device (if the device happens to be stolen or compromised). 
 
The most common MDM schemes are:
​

• BYOD-Bring your own device
• CYOD-Choose your own device
• COBO-Corporate owned, business only
• COPE-Corporate owned, personally enabled  

However you choose to configure your own corporate policy, ETG can help you implement a device security policy that everyone can live, and work, with.
