As you all know, that the use of mobile devices has skyrocketed in the last few years and the trend
is growing, according to IDC, the smartphone market is already larger than the PC market, which leads
to mobile device management or MDM.
So what is MDM U.S. ability to manage any device?
So it can be a phone?
It can be a tablet.
Or it can be even a laptop.
Any mobile device from a central location.
Right.
So an example of that is Cisco Miraki and other companies that actually provide a central policy enforcement
and management of these devices.
And basically, the goal is actually to protect those devices, not only by providing badges, but also
by providing policies from your central location.
Like in this case, it is Miraki in the cloud.
Right.
So from Cloud, you can manage devices within your organization, perhaps not installing the application
and maybe there was camera enabled so you can actually specify the policies on how you want to manage
those devices.
Additionally, some of these devices are actually talk to other devices in the network, like the eyes
or identities service engine to end for their policies.
Let's say you have an unmanaged tablet, perhaps actually you don't want this tablet to accessing to
a server in your organization.
So there is policy that can be sent to a switch on firewall to actually block tablet from connecting
to sensitive data or sensitive systems of your company and then allow tablet to actually connect to
the Internet or vice versa.
This tablet only connects to some resources and it would not connect to the Internet.
Right.
So possibilities are endless.
You can modify policies to block some applications or allow some content to transfer to Internet or
to communicate any other devices within the organization.
