What is Mobile Device Management?
MDM software allows management and distribution of apps, configuration and security settings, monitoring for malware, patching firmware and apps, securing of business data – anything! Manage, monitor and secure your mobile workforce - all from a unified cloud-based dashboard.

Easily manage your devices
Being able to manage users and their devices remotely is a massive benefit. Update critical security patches of firmware, apps, or update device security configuration - in bulk, across 100's of devices, in minutes - remotely.
By remotely managing your mobile workforce, you can attain the same level of oversight as you would you with your network endpoints - to quickly gain control of all devices, 24/7. Significantly improving mobile security - and solving the management headache.
Keep applications and data secure
An MDM platform makes sure that all your systems and software are up-to-date and patched to combat any identified security vulnerabilities. These updates can be centrally controlled and audited, so not only protects your devices and data, but it’s also a requirement for government compliance.
Similarly, both business and public apps can be centrally managed, with required apps installed upon configuration, or policy-based rules to govern permitted or prohibited apps.
Remote locate, lock and wipe
MDM allows business and personal data to be segmented and containerised on BYOD devices, so you can have the best of both worlds - effective corporate security and management control, without the upfront cost of large numbers of devices. And when an employee leaves, you can selectively remove all corporate information - remotely.
