mobile device management (MDM)
Mobile device management (MDM) is software that allows IT administrators to control, secure and enforce policies on smartphones, tablets and other endpoints.
MDM is a core component of enterprise mobility management (EMM), which also includes mobile application management, identity and access management, and enterprise file sync and share. The intent of MDM is to optimize the functionality and security of mobile devices within the enterprise while simultaneously protecting the corporate network.
Modern enterprise mobility products support not only smartphones but also tablets, Windows 10 and macOS computers and even some internet of things (IoT) devices. The practice of using MDM to control PCs is known as unified endpoint management (UEM). UEM is widely considered the successor to MDM and aims to manage all enterprise devices with a single console.
