Mobile Device Management with Vodafone

By Ashley Caputo, TMCnet Web Editor


Mobile device management (MDM) is a key functionality in a world that is defined by mobile devices, with users all over the world depending on them for both personal and work related activities. In an effort to help businesses control their mobile devices safely, Vodafone (News - Alert) Device Manager is an advanced solution that helps safeguard against mobile fleets and data leakage, data breeches or theft. 


As the BYOD phenomenon continues to mobilize offices around the world, and even the Department of Defense, the amount of sensitive information stolen has reached heightened levels. Since tablets and smartphones can lack the IT infrastructure that protects computers running on a server, they don’t have the firewalls, access controls or malware protection to data theft.

Vodafone’s MDM is easy-to-download software that gives users secures online access to the Device Manager portal where businesses can control all of the mobile devices that are a part of their system from the IT help desk. If a device is lost or stolen the software can map its location and erase all of the data so that it can’t be stolen.

In the study conducted by the Nominum (News - Alert) security team, which analyzed DNS data across the globe, mobile malware infections have stolen the identities of a very large population of users, with Android (News - Alert) remaining as a top target of malware writers. The mobile malware viruses like, Notcompatible, Smspacem and Lena can steal the IMSI, manufacture and model information, and can also send SMS messages, delete SMS messages and dial phone numbers.

To avoid such constant threats, Vodafone’s software monitors the mobile device 24/7 and applies the same security policies as a business’s IT department. Vodafone is designed for mid to large size enterprises as it can deploy applications to thousands of users within minutes. It can also query devices over the air and effectively diagnose and resolve issues and make sure all of the latest updates and applications are being used.

For businesses that have moved to the realm of mobile devices, having a MDM platform is vital for the protection of their data, along with the ability to function efficiently and seamless across hundreds of devices.
