Enterprise mobility management (EMM) solutions
Achieve a balance between user productivity and mobile security with an EMM solution
EMM overview
Enterprise mobility management (EMM) combines user, applications and content management with strong data security to help users quickly connect to corporate resources. A mature EMM solution simplifies device management and configuration, helps initiate enrollment requests, distribute apps and documents, and enables greater collaboration. In a remote work world, conventional EMMs must be able to provide employees with seamless access to intranet sites and use the VPN capabilities of their devices to access corporate apps and data with ease and speed.

Bring your own device (BYOD)
Every employee has a preferred device for work and BYOD policies exist to suit their needs. Whether a personal smartphone, tablet or laptop, BYOD supported by an EMM solution grants anywhere, anytime access without compromising security.
Unified endpoint management (UEM)
UEM solutions continue the evolution from EMM and MDM to provide a single solution for all device types. By adding mobile threat defense, artificial intelligence insights, out-of-the-box, single-sign-on and conditional access, UEM provides a robust risk management posture without disrupting employee productivity.
Mobile security
Today’s workers expect fast and easy access to the apps, content and data they need to be productive. IT teams must meet this expectation without compromising security. See how AI and mobile threat defense allow security professionals to proactively defend against threats targeting users, devices, apps, data and the network.
