Introduction to Mobile Device Management (MDM)

Mobile Device Management, or MDM, is a system that is used in organizations to manage mobile devices like smartphones, tablets and laptops. With the ubiquity of mobile devices in business today, maintaining the security of mobile devices to ensure proper uptime becomes a crucial part of operating a business. To effectively manage the security and functionality of mobile devices, MDM provides a single platform to administer these devices. By administrating mobile devices through a central location, admins can effectively manage mobile devices and enforce polices by deleting applications, specifying specific security measures or even locking the mobile device. Mobile Device Management has become a fundamental part of the modern organization, improving security of mobile devices, ease of use and streamlines maintenance functionalities.

Challenges of Mobile Device Integration

These potential risks are only amplified as organizations are moving to more towards the use of mobile devices, taking advantage of their convenience and promoting the use of telework. The increasing use of mobile devices can create risks due to loss, theft, and data breaches of sensitive company information. The information kept on users’ devices is dispersed among millions of devices, making it difficult to ensure compliance with the company’s policy and requirements due to the variety of devices and operating systems.

MDM solutions provide businesses with a suite of tools, including device encryption or remote wipe software, to ensure companies’ policies and compliance with the industry’s data protection requirements are maintained.

Importance of Mobile Device Security

Mobile devices are the primary portal to sensitive corporate data. As a result, securing them is vital in assuring the data’s safety, and ascertaining regulatory compliance (with reference to GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS and other regulations), which poses a challenge. Data stored in the mobile device itself or on the associated Cloud may be the result of a malicious act, done through a weakness in one of the mobile apps the device uses for work or for everyday purposes, through a phishing attack, or simply a case of malware being installed on the device. Cybercriminals may want this sensitive information to potentially use it for a perception management campaign against the company, or, potentially and even worse, sell the stolen data in the black market. The worst-case scenario would be that a criminal would use my credentials to log into our corporate databases and wreak havoc with our systems. Furthermore, organizations must comply with GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS, failing to do so may result in tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars of fines, and even lawsuits that might force the company to shut down for good.

MDM solutions have several key features: Encryption includes any process that transforms information or data in an effort to protect it from unauthorized access (the encryption standards used are discussed below). MDM solutions employ encryption technologies to make the data on mobile devices unreadable, even if intercepted by criminals. Secure access control refers to guaranteeing that the use of a mobile device is limited to those individuals who have been properly granted permission to do so. Real-time monitoring refers to the ability to immediately respond to and address security incidences as they occur. If an incident occurs earlier on in the day, an immediate response can reduce its damaging effects.
