What is mobile device management (MDM)?

Mobile device management (MDM) is the practice of configuring, tracking, and securing devices for use in the workplace. Essentially, an MDM solution is a centralized platform that gives businesses more control over updating and monitoring their devices. This makes it easier to do things like: distribute content, manage policies, assign role-based controls to certain users, and ensure that all company-owned devices are using the right software and security settings.
