MDM - Mobile Device Management is a system that helps organisations manage and secure employees' mobile devices, like smartphones and tablets, used for work.
Here’s a simple breakdown:
- Managing devices: MDM allows companies to set up, update, and monitor work-related settings on employees’ devices.
- Securing data: It can enforce security measures, like requiring passwords, locking or wiping a lost device, and controlling which apps can be installed.
- Work and personal use: On personal devices, MDM can separate work data from personal data to protect both.
Think of MDM as a way for companies to keep work devices safe and ensure sensitive information stays protected, even if the devices are used outside the office.
