How Does Mobile Device Management Software Work?

They do this by installing multi-factor authentication, password enforcement, critical software patches, and the latest malware software updates. The most solid MDM systems will treat or wipe devices infected with malware before it spreads.

Meezan Bank – An MDM Solution Success Story
If you’re still having doubts about how a mobile device management solution can transform your business, take a look at a use case on how Jazz reinvented the way Meezan Bank’s sales team interacted with clients and within the company itself.
After realizing more than half of the people in Pakistan did not have a bank account due to lack of information, Meezan Bank courageously took the lead in spreading awareness on the benefits of digital financial services by empowering their sales team with Samsung tablets so they could give potential clients a demo of internet banking, products on their website, and their mobile app.
As employees began to access sensitive corporate financial data through the tablets and were frequently in and out of the office, Meezan Bank decided it needed to take measures to secure corporate data and allow access only to necessary websites and mobile apps. Through Jazz’s Mobile Device Management offering, Samsung Knox, was the perfect solution to this. By implementing IT security policies, whitelisting certain apps, and remotely managing all devices through an online portal, Meezan Bank not only transformed the way their employees operated, but adapted to the post-pandemic workplace and are number 1 in digital value transfer according to 1-Links ranking report.
With the Samsung KNOX, administrators can now enforce server-level configuration on these mobile devices through MDM, enforce personalized settings on specific apps with mobile application management, and allow employee access to corporate data through particular applications on the device through mobile content management.
