Today's challenge

Enterprises today are seeing an influx of employees using mobile devices to carry out corporate tasks and access corporate resources. Many see this as an opportunity to improve employee productivity, and have begun advocating practices like corporate-owned personally enabled (COPE) and bring your own device (BYOD). However, placing sensitive corporate data in the pockets of your employees poses various threats to your enterprise's privacy and security. 

To address this issue, you should adopt a holistic unified endpoint management solution that can help your IT staff manage every aspect of mobile device use, ranging from enrolling new devices to wiping corporate information when an employee leaves your organization.
