Mobile Device Management (MDM) Solutions

Overview

Secure your business with mobile device management solutions

Effective mobile device management solutions offer advanced capabilities to keep up with the ever-changing mobile landscape. Enterprise IT and security leaders must manage laptops, desktops, smartphones, tablets, wearables and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Having adequate visibility and management over a broad range of devices and operating systems may seem challenging but can be addressed when the right strategy and tools are in place.

With mobile email phishing and SMS phishing as the most common cyberthreats in 2021, according to the IDC U.S. Enterprise Workspace Management and Security Survey, 2021 (link resides outside ibm.com), organizations must protect all their mobile endpoints and increase the level of their security posture to comply with a zero trust architecture.
