Roles: IT and HR Admin
Mobile Device Management (MDM) enables organisations to administer and maintain devices, including virtual machines, physical computers, mobile devices, and IoT devices. Device management is a critical component of any organisation's security strategy.
The device management program installed on your company’s devices is dependent on the device manufacturer.
Why Does Your Company Need Mobile Device Management (MDM)?
MDM keeps your business data protected and ensures your company retain control over confidential information. If a mobile device is lost or stolen, MDM can remotely lock and wipe all data. Remote locking and wiping capabilities enable companies to keep devices and data secure.
