ENTERPRISE MOBILITY MANAGEMENT

Security & Protection in a Mobile-First World

Why You Need Enterprise Mobility Management

With the increased usage of mobile devices in the workplace, companies are now exposed to more vulnerabilities than ever. To ensure all company data is secure, organizations are turning to Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions.

EMM is software that allows employees to safely use mobile devices and applications that are managed remotely by the company’s IT department. Today’s enterprises are dealing with an increasing trend of employees using mobile devices and enterprise mobility management helps improve productivity and security for these employees by allowing only specific applications to be used on specific devices, on an as needed basis.

Social Mobile’s EMM Platform

Social Mobile’s EMM platform, Mambo, is designed to provide a simple, easy-to-use solution for EMM. It focuses on features that are best suited for dedicated devices with zero-touch support for new releases. The platform allows for the deployment of different EMM tools based on the specific requirements of the organization, such as work profile, fully managed, or dedicated device mode.

Work Profile (BYOD)

With a work profile, employees can set up a work environment on their Android device while maintaining control of their personal data. The organization can only monitor and control the dedicated work profile. Work profile strongly promotes user privacy, with the exception of enforcing basic security requirements, such as passcode and debugging.

Fully Managed (COBO)

Devices can be enrolled as fully managed, which is intended for company-owned devices. This offers no personal account or application management by default and only permits the installation of approved applications through managed Google Play. In this mode, the organization controls the entire device, including the ability to enforce policies, monitor activity, and perform remote wipe.

Dedicated Device (COSU)

To enable COSU (Corporate-Owned Single-Use) mode, the device must be provisioned as fully managed. Once enrollment completes, the EMM will be deployed in kiosk mode with varying features, functionality, and customization. The device will lock down to one or multiple dedicated applications and will not allow engagement with the underlying OS unless permitted by the organization.

Components that Comprise an EMM Solution

Mobile Device Management

MDM refers to software that enables IT departments to secure and enforce policies on devices used in business, such as tablets or phones. Mobile device management is typically enforced by creating profiles for each device on the company’s network. Once the profile is created, the IT department can setup features like email, WIFI access, specific application access etc. If a device is lost or an employee is no longer with the company, the IT department can lock the device so that it can no longer be accessed (or even wipe the device clean).

Mobile Application Management

For companies who don’t want to deal with the possibility of wiping employees’ personal devices, the optimal solution is mobile application management, or MAM. With a MAM solution, the device itself won’t get locked down, but IT has the ability to lock down specific apps and data that contain sensitive information pertinent to the business. The IT department can also push out updates to specific apps, at scale, with mobile application management. MAM provides the ability to leave personal data such as photos or messages untouched and inaccessible to IT, while still securing the vital and confidential business apps and information.

Mobile Content Management

Mobile content management (MCM) or mobile information management (MIM) is another key feature of an EMM solution. In today’s world, collaboration is a huge part of business. Employees work together, even from remote locations, to accomplish a singular goal. Mobile content management helps employees collaborate by enabling access to documents, emails, notes etc. while working from different locations. While working remotely, the MCM system is making sure that all the data being transmitted is secure. Through encryption, MCM makes it safe for remote workers to transmit data across various networks and devices.
