What is Mobile Device Management (MDM)?

Mobile Device Management (MDM) is a category of software that enables IT administrators to remotely manage, secure, and monitor mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops) used within an organization. It typically involves policies to control device features, enforce security settings, deploy apps, and remotely wipe or lock devices if they are lost or stolen. MDM is commonly used to protect company data, ensure compliance with security policies, and improve the efficiency of mobile device support.
