Best Practices
Guide to crafting a strong
mobile device management (MDM) policy

Enforce software updates
Ensure that users follow this crucial security requirement, as updates often contain patches for vulnerabilities that could be exploited by bad actors.
Allow only approved applications
Make sure that installed applications meet certain security standards, to provide better control over your device environment and minimize potential threats.
Install mobile threat defense (MTD) software
Help detect and prevent malicious activities, including malware, ransomware and phishing attacks with software that evaluates and mitigates threats as they are encountered.
Require lock screen passcodes
Help prevent unauthorized access to devices, to aid in safeguarding of sensitive information.
Schedule regular password expirations
Mitigate the risk of unauthorized access through compromised passwords.
Restrict password sharing
Limiting shared passwords helps avoid the risk of unauthorized individuals gaining access to your personal or business data.
Require two-factor authentication
Add an extra layer of security to your online accounts by requiring a second form of verification, to reduce the risk of unauthorized access even if your password is compromised.
Set block/allow application lists
Block or allow certain applications to help create a safer, more efficient and controlled digital environment.
Enforce acceptable use policies (AUP)
Create and enforce AUP to promote a secure, compliant, and productive environment within your organization.
Set up remote access
Help enhance workplace flexibility, productivity and resilience, while supporting talent management strategies and potential cost savings.
Disable factory reset
Contribute to a more secure and managed device environment by preventing factory reset of your devices, to enhance data security, theft prevention, corporate compliance and control policies.
Distribute workforce apps through private stores
Help improve security, customization, management, deployment and compliance by utilizing private stores dedicated to workforce apps.
Create a sandbox environment or secure container
Enhance security, testing, data protection, resource management, and application compatibility in mobile environments.

It shouldn’t take a compromise to step up your game.
