Mobile device management (MDM) refers to a security and administration solution that enables IT and security teams to manage, monitor, and enforce policies on mobile devices used by employees. MDM solutions, such as Microsoft Intune, provide IT teams with centralized control over devices, enabling functions like remote wiping, enforcing encryption, restricting app installations, and monitoring compliance with security policies.
MDMs are essential tools for organizations of all sizes to effectively manage their corporate-owned or employee-owned mobile endpoints, enabling productivity while mitigating risks. These solutions are particularly important in bring your own device (BYOD) and corporate-owned personally-enabled (COPE) environments, where personal and corporate data coexist on the same device.
While MDMs help in managing mobile endpoints, they do not provide comprehensive security. Learn more about how Q-scout integrates with MDMs to provide the mobile app threat intelligence necessary for today’s threat landscape.
