CALIFORNIA CITY, Calif. - Oct. 18, 2021 - PRLog -- In the present scenario, IoT has grown leaps and bounds to create global networks that can freely connect machines, people, and data with one another. In fact, by 2022, many studies have projected that there might be around 100 billion connected devices internationally!

There is a huge demand for remote tools that help organizations stay connected and sustain productivity in the longer run. Remote work is here to stay, and companies are primarily focusing on improving security to prevent any catastrophic consequences.

MDM's capability to manage, monitor, and secure data according to set business policies is now more critical than ever. It also has become an essential security component of empowering workforces with smartphones, tablets, and computers. Especially as bring your own device (BYOD) has swapped company-issued mobile devices, and Service providers with a directive to safeguard corporate networks is now a must-have part of their stack. The appealing flexibility that remote work offers and the necessity to secure mobile access to corporate data imply that MDM is a growth-oriented offering.
