From tablets to mobile phones, these devices can come in handy for completing a variety of job tasks. Because <a href=\"https:\/\/cmitsolutions.com\/pittsburgh-south\/services\/mobile-device-management\/\">mobile device<\/a> use is so common, especially with small businesses, many companies fail to see the threat that mobile devices can pose to their company. If these devices not being managed securely, they make your company\u2019s data and network vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>One wrong click on a mobile phone or tablet could infect your network or compromise your company\u2019s data. It\u2019s crucial to handle mobile devices with the same policies and security as your desktops and laptops.<\/p>\n<h3>What is Mobile Device Management (MDM)?<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5915\" src=\"https:\/\/cmitsolutions.com\/pittsburgh-pa-1035\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2018\/11\/GettyImages-854446566-300x200-1.jpg\" alt=\"Mobile Device Management Pittsburgh\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>Mobile device management is a software used by IT administrators to secure, control, and enforce company policies on devices such as tablets, smartphones, and other endpoints. MDM is used to optimize the security and functionality of mobile devices, while also protecting the corporate network.<br \/>\nMobile device management is a significant part of enterprise mobility management (EMM) which includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mobile application management<\/li>\n<li>Enterprise file sync and share<\/li>\n<li>Identity and access management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How does Mobile Device Management Work?<\/h3>\n<p>This type of device management works through endpoint software called an MDM agent and an MDM server. The MDM server can be located on the premises, or it can live on the cloud.<\/p>\n<p>An IT administrator will configure policies through the mobile device management\u2019s console. The server pushes these policies to the MDM agent on the devices. Once this is complete, the MDM agent applies the policies to the device through communication with the APIs that have been built into the device\u2019s operating system.<\/p>\n<p>MDM products support tablets and smartphones, as well as macOS computers, Windows 10 and some internet of things devices. Standard features of mobile device management products include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Password enforcement<\/li>\n<li>Data encryption enforcement<\/li>\n<li>Remote wipe<\/li>\n<li>App blacklisting and whitelisting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Mobile Device Management Services for Your Business<\/h3>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/cmitsolutions.com\/pittsburgh-south\/\">CMIT Solutions of Pittsburgh South<\/a>, we offer expert mobile device management and IT support services for Pittsburgh businesses.
