00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,670
- [Instructor] For networks
with a lot of users,

2
00:00:08,670 --> 00:00:11,490
consider third-party
offerings from companies

3
00:00:11,490 --> 00:00:16,173
that make use of mobile
device management platforms.

4
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:22,100
MDM platforms are centralized
software solutions.

5
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,440
MDM allows admins to
control, configure, update,

6
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,770
and secure remote mobile
device operating systems

7
00:00:31,770 --> 00:00:35,280
such as Android, iOS, and so on

8
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,550
all from one administrative console.

9
00:00:38,550 --> 00:00:40,500
From the central location,

10
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:43,260
the administrator can carry out the tasks

11
00:00:43,260 --> 00:00:46,740
of application management,
content management,

12
00:00:46,740 --> 00:00:50,913
and patch management on
multiple devices at once.

13
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,960
Examples include Cisco Meraki,
Citrix Endpoint Management,

14
00:00:57,030 --> 00:01:00,453
VMware AirWatch, and SOTI MobiControl,

15
00:01:01,710 --> 00:01:03,753
though there are several others.

16
00:01:04,740 --> 00:01:09,740
Building on MDM, application
control becomes easier

17
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:14,430
in the form of mobile
application management, MAM.

18
00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:20,190
With MAM, applications can
be installed, uninstalled,

19
00:01:20,190 --> 00:01:24,513
updated, and secured from
that same central location.

20
00:01:25,410 --> 00:01:29,820
You might also be interested
in open source solutions.

21
00:01:29,820 --> 00:01:34,820
Since Big Sur, Apple has
required that IT organizations

22
00:01:35,310 --> 00:01:38,280
and managed service providers

23
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:43,280
use an MDM to manage
devices running macOS.

24
00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:47,520
Examples include Flive and 1MDM.

25
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,283
So check out open source
solutions as well.

26
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,990
And over here, we have an example of MDM,

27
00:01:54,990 --> 00:01:58,470
a basic example from a
company called Miradore,

28
00:01:58,470 --> 00:02:02,220
and you can see that it has
a very basic dashboard here

29
00:02:02,220 --> 00:02:04,470
where you can work with
your mobile devices

30
00:02:04,470 --> 00:02:07,590
and you can see the
individual mobile devices

31
00:02:07,590 --> 00:02:09,090
within that dashboard.

32
00:02:09,090 --> 00:02:12,420
So management becomes
really easy to control,

33
00:02:12,420 --> 00:02:17,420
Remote Android, macOS or
iOS, and even Windows devices

34
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:20,970
from that central location.

35
00:02:20,970 --> 00:02:21,990
And that's the whole idea.

36
00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:24,600
We wanna try to centralize things

37
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,843
so we can make our administration
a little bit easier.

38
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,270
So remember that MDM is a
centralized software solution

39
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:38,270
used to configure and update
and secure remote devices.
