Mobile device management

Also known as MDM

Managing the configuration and security of phones and tablets that access company data.

Full MDM enrolls the device and manages it wholesale, which suits company-owned hardware. For personal phones, application-level management is usually the better fit: company data is contained and can be wiped without touching anything personal.

Getting this distinction wrong is the fastest way to a staff revolt, because nobody wants their employer able to wipe their own phone.
