Are you afraid of your employees using their mobile device to access sensitive data and information?
You may be concerned about letting employees use their mobile devices for work at all. However, you shouldn’t take away the right for employees to work mobility. Many employees will still use their mobiles devices for work without permission anyways. Instead of trying to stop your employees–Be steps ahead!
Many service providers for mobile device management have various features for security. One of the popular security methods that many companies today are adapting with Mobile Device Management (MDM) is containerization. With containerization, a company will be able to control their applications in a “container.” The container method allows the company to fully control all of the security controls and most importantly- content.
Most companies with high sensitive data information are more likely to adopt this method for Mobile Device Management (MDM). This is because the company will own the container and not the personal data that an employee will have on their mobile device. You would be able to delete parts within the container effortlessly and modify the security settings so that you can have control of your data and its distribution. Multiple layers of encryption is used for this method which makes it difficult for a hacker to access secured files.
There are various methods when setting up a container which include:
- Developing a separate file or folder where data and other application may be linked into
- Modifying an “app wrapper” around each company application so that the application and all of its data are secured within that “bubble” of the app
- Building an entirely separate virtual mobile phone for the mobile device that would be strictly for business use
