The document discusses the pros and cons of Mobile Device Management (MDM) as mobile devices become more prevalent, emphasizing the importance of security and flexibility in modern work environments. Key advantages include remote device management, centralized updates, application control, and data backup, while the downsides encompass security gaps, the need for regular audits, potential data leakage through cloud services, and cost considerations. Ultimately, MDM solutions can enhance productivity but require careful implementation to mitigate security risks.
Pros and Cons of Mobile Device Management
- 1. Pros and Cons of Mobile Device Management
- 2. With the evolving technology, mobile devices have gained prominence over stationary ones. People use Laptops 79% Smartphones 87% Tablets 68% Why MDM? MDM solution is essential if the companies are hoping for a flexible working environment, along with appropriate level of security.
- 3. Pros of MDM 1.Manage Devices and Users Remotely 2.Device Update 3.Controls Application Download 4.Automatic Device Registration 5.Data Backup 6.Security Policy Enforcement 7.Favors BYOD
- 4. 1. Manage Devices and Users Remotely Controlling mobile devices remotely enables you to disable unauthorized users or applications.
- 5. 2. Device Update To protect your security and data, MDM allows centralized control and audit of the updates.
- 6. 3. Controls Application Download MDM allows download of applications and provides centralized control to allow users to install these applications.
- 7. 4. Automatic Device Registration MDM solutions can register new devices automatically.
- 8. 5. Data Backup Failure of any mobile device does not result in loss of information.
- 9. 6. Security Policy Enforcement MDM ensures that there is no security breach by implementing access limitations and password protection.
- 10. 7. Favors BYOD With BYOD the company can save costs and increase productivity. But BYOD doesn’t mean completely compromising with security while using personal device
- 11. Cons of MDM • Security Gaps • Regular Security Audits Required • Cloud Services • Costly
- 12. 1. Security Gaps MDM requires trained IT staff and administrator and certain policies to monitor use of an organizations data and policies.
- 13. 2. Regular Security Audits Required MDM does provide security but that doesn’t mean the company should completely rely on it.
- 14. 3. Cloud Services MDM can't prevent data leakage through cloud services.
- 15. 4. Costly Some companies may already have invested in desktop computers or laptops which can prevent them from adopting MDM.
