Mobile Device Management

Mobile Device Management systems

65% of data security threats in companies are data leaks. Most of them come from the company's mobile devices such as phones, laptops, or tablets. Therefore, it is necessary to configure and properly secure each one individually. But how to do this when we have dozens or even hundreds of employees and only one administrator?

Manage your mobile devices

MDM - The system that belongs to your organization

Although Mobile Device Management systems have been on the market for a long time, until now they were primarily aimed at large companies. Today, when even a medium or small enterprise may have a dozen or so phones and laptops, manufacturers have expanded their offers. Mobile Device Management, or solutions that, as the name suggests, are used to manage mobile devices in an organization, regardless of whether there are 10 or 10,000 of them.

MDM system features

Initial configuration option – after installing MDM, the necessary applications are downloaded and devices are automatically set according to the established parameters.
Remote device management – screen preview, remote support, updates, ability to communicate with the owner, blocking in the event of theft or clearing resources before a new employee takes over.
Full visibility of the processes taking place in it – also in terms of parameters, network access or history of activities.
Application control – blocking unwanted or potentially dangerous applications in system stores.
Introduction of BYOD policy – installation of company resources on employees’ private devices in a secure manner.

What benefits will you gain by implementing an MDM system?

Time, compliance with security policy, and conclusions from data.

The most important from the perspective of not only administrators but the entire organization are three areas - time, security and analytics.

Time

While in small and medium-sized companies, mass configuration of devices is a huge time saver, and administrators can focus on more important tasks, in enterprise-class companies without MDM it would be necessary to hire several people for whom this would be their only task. So we save not only time but also money.

Security

In the face of increasing challenges from the point of view of cybersecurity, but also increasingly restrictive requirements such as NIS2, full control over devices and elimination of potential threats in the form of unwanted applications make it much easier to take care of the most important elements. Integration with resources through a secure connection or the already mentioned full visibility at the level of each device will also be helpful in this.

Analytics

Monitoring each device individually allows you to extract data that is important for process optimization or quickly find a potential anomaly. For example, we can find out whether employees are using company phones at all or quickly find a potential source of a phishing attack and isolate it before it spreads.

Techstep – Essentials MDM

Among the solutions available on the market, the one from Techstep deserves special attention in our opinion. This manufacturer specializes primarily in the protection of end devices with an emphasis on mobile devices. Importantly, it includes and supports iOS and Android equally, which will allow employees to choose.

In addition to the standard MDM features, Techstep offers the following features:

Using the exact location of devices, we can track or find a stolen device, but also monitor processes and even use geofencing to avoid sensitive data leaking.
The ability to transfer device management and configuration to the Techstep team and outsource services to save administrators work.
Encryption, separation of business data from private data, preventing their copying and even remote destruction will be important for those who value privacy.

The flexible pricing plan means that a high level of protection can be afforded by small companies with a few people, up to huge organizations with thousands of people. It is worth paying attention to it, especially if we process large amounts of personal data, belong to one of the important areas of the economy from the NIS2 perspective, or our company secrets require exceptional protection.

Tehstep’s client portfolio is worth noting – these are well-known and respected brands around the world, such as InPost, Poczta Polska, Hungarian Poczta, mBank, Leroy Merlin, PEKAO, IMPEL, Wurth, Burger King, Credit Agricole, Kruk S.A., Grant Thornton.

We implement MDM projects in cooperation with the exclusive distributor of Techstep solutions – Versim.
