5 Tricks To Make Your Enterprise Mobility Management More Effective
The BYOD (Bring your device) culture in enterprises all over the world has increased, maintenance of secured access to data over enterprise applications and servers. A solution to this was Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile Content Management (MCM), which were tough to manage and yet the concept of Mobile Application Management, took over the enterprise sentiment, it really needed some kind of master solution to integrate all of the above.
So, there was the concept of Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) integrating, MDM, MAM and MCM to achieve secure access, data protection, Application management, threat management, visibility and control over enterprise data. A major boost came in 2015 when windows 10 integrated features of MDM in its OS and thus, EMM companies turned their focus towards Unified Endpoint Management(UEM). This technique allowed, IT to manage PCs, mobiles, tablets, laptops and other devices through a single console.
As far as enterprise data management is concerned there is no doubt about an EMM solution applicable, but what are the advanced tricks that can ensure secure access with minimal data leaks. Let us discuss 5 tricks that can make your EMM more effective.
1. Secure Web Browsers:
Enterprises can look for secure web browsers that can be used by their employees to access information without dedicated VPN and yet are secure and safe. Secure web browsers can provide access to many corporate websites and intranet websites. Employees can find relative information from the internet quickly with pre-defined corporate bookmarks and personalized bookmarks that can be synced across all the devices.
Hassle of password typing and mishandling can be avoided by in-built SSO features provided along with browser suite. This is a good trick to avoid data mishandling or compliance issues for enterprises with internet abuse.
2. Application Performance Manager:
Application management software employs measurements of response times and other component and resource interactions, to help manage the overall stability and usability of the software within its purview. There are several, Application Performance Management (APM) providers in the market. But, they often lack the visibility and understanding of the difference between APM for developers and APM for enterprise applications on CRM, ERM, etc. They need to consider business parameters to determine the APM for such applications. As enterprise applications are based on organizational functions and capabilities.
Enterprise applications are also more business location-centric and also based on work environment and workspace dynamics. All these factors need to be accounted for when APM is at operation. According to a report 59% of the references reported that they use their EMM tools to manage internally-developed applications. 56% stated that they use EMM to manage apps received from third parties and delivered through internal app stores. 58% were supporting public app store apps.
3. Monitoring of Applications:
Application monitoring is a technique that can help enterprises monitor data over the applications and ensure, secure access with the prevention of data leakages. In the modern era of extensive use of technology for enterprise espionage and enterprise spying to get competitor's valuable data is a common evil.
Application monitoring can render higher application security, with high performance and instant response time, that can help enterprises ergonomically.
4. Special Purpose Device Support:
Enterprises choose mobile devices as per specific use cases. Enterprises chooses a device that is best suited to that purpose. The device used is often Android, because of its ability to be configured for a particular purpose.
This EMM tool provides the following capabilities:
Device configuration management(DCM)
It is the ability of EMM tools to support Android hardware models.
User support
It involves the need for troubleshooting or more complex configurations.
Document distribution
This is often an important capability to distribute relative documents to the respective employee.
5. Cloud Applications:
The use of cloud applications and cloud-sourced platforms for EMM tools is more efficient and secure. SaaS( Software as a service) model of cloud computing is extensively used by EMM vendors and it is really effective for the optimization of cloud applications.
In the SaaS model, the EMM platform runs all the instances in a shared space, stored in a central database management system(DBMS). This platform provides maximum flexibility with control over all the features. The advantages for clients are rapid product releases, no need for analytics maintenance, and data derived from user devices in the SaaS environment. Clients can also hire android developers to develop EMM cloud applications using SaaS model. There are other SaaS variations, such as shared-database, shared-processing, shared-hardware and shared-nothing multitenancy. Other important factors in the cloud offering include the number of data centers the vendor uses to operate the SaaS offering, certifications, and SLAs.
Wrapping Up:
Enterprise Mobility Management(EMM) has changed the paradigm of enterprise applications and their management. Today, enterprises have more control over the data that is accessed by their employees and applications that are functional. Enterprise applications now are more easily managed through various analytics techniques and AI-based technologies provided by EMM suites and vendors. Thus, enterprises have moved towards more safe, secure and controlled computing solutions, that can analyze their data and monitor the results based on business metrics. The above five tricks will help your enterprise make these EMM tools and suites to apply more effective ways to optimize security.
