Simplifying Mobile Device Management and Security With Managed Services
As mobile devices increasingly drive business operations, securing and managing them efficiently has become a critical challenge. Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions offer a centralized approach to deploying, securing, and monitoring all types of mobile endpoints—including mobile computers, tablets, laptops, and IoT devices—across an enterprise network. With MDM, businesses can enhance security, boost productivity, and reduce operational downtime.
What is Mobile Device Management?
Mobile Device Management enables IT administrators to control and monitor devices from a single admin console. It plays a central role in Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM), which also covers application, identity, and access management. MDM simplifies device setup, enforces security protocols, pushes software updates, and ensures compliance with regulatory standards.
For industries like healthcare, transportation and logistics, retail, warehousing and distribution, and manufacturing, the ability to manage a diverse array of mobile assets is crucial. MDM tools allow for consistent policy enforcement, including password complexity requirements and remote wipe capabilities in the event of device loss or theft.
What Should a Full-featured Mobile Device Management Solution Include?
As a Levata company, Barcodes, Inc. offers MDM solutions that begin with the installation of an agent on each device. This agent communicates with a centralized server that allows IT administrators to apply corporate security policies, distribute applications, and monitor compliance in real-time. Devices are grouped into a secure sandbox to isolate corporate data from personal apps—ensuring sensitive information stays protected.
The specialized software includes a dynamic dashboard for tracking device health, OS versions, and app usage. This visibility helps IT teams identify vulnerabilities and act swiftly to prevent potential breaches.
Why Businesses Need MDM
With mobile threats on the rise—particularly attacks targeting IoT devices—organizations can’t afford to be passive. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), and similar regulations further necessitate robust security controls. Companies should ask:
- Are mobile devices business-critical and expensive to replace?
- Is rapid onboarding essential for mobile staff?
- Is managing app versions and device updates difficult?
- Is infeasible to hire additional IT staff to support a heavily manual device management protocol?
If the answer is yes to any of these, implementing an MDM solution is no longer optional—it’s essential.
Key Benefits of MDM
1. Remote Management: MDM enables administrators to manage, configure, and update hundreds of devices remotely, significantly improving security responsiveness and operational agility.
2. Security Policy Enforcement: Organizations can apply consistent password policies, identity controls, and security settings across all endpoints.
3. Consistent User Experience: All users, regardless of device or platform, receive a uniform interface, improving usability and reducing support needs.
4. Instant Data Deletion: In case of a lost or compromised device, confidential information can be wiped instantly to safeguard business data.
5. Automatic Data Backup: Corporate applications and associated data are automatically backed up, reducing the risk of data loss.
6. Streamlined Onboarding: New employees can be set up with pre-configured devices in minutes, allowing them to start work immediately.
7. Application Control: Administrators can manage which apps are installed, enforce role-based access, and remove unauthorized applications on demand.
8. Regulatory Compliance: Centralized tracking ensures businesses stay compliant with privacy laws and industry-specific regulations.
