The devices and applications running on the devices are allowed to access privileged company information and websites and therefore device and mobile app security are of utmost importance in a BYOD environment.

Mobile device management (MDM) refers to the enterprise administration of mobile devices, smartphones, tablet computers, laptops and other computers across a company.
