Enterprises and individuals across the nation lost over $325 million because of it just last year. Prevent your business from being attacked with a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution; it&#8217;s a key component in protecting your business from ransomware wielding cybercriminals.<\/p>\n<p>An MDM tool is more important now than ever before, given the rise in cyber threats. A\u00a0new form of malware was just recently exposed; it&#8217;s targeting Android devices and uses the \u201cTowelroot\u201d exploit to spread the ransomware, according to an article from the <a href=\"https:\/\/wwpi.com\/2016\/09\/27\/four-ways-mobile-device-management-can-protect-your-mobile-workforce-from-ransomware-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\">Computer Technology Review.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This malware, Dogspectus, installs itself, making it much more dangerous than other types of malware that require a download. It eventually demands payment in iTunes gift cards, the <a href=\"https:\/\/wwpi.com\/2016\/09\/27\/four-ways-mobile-device-management-can-protect-your-mobile-workforce-from-ransomware-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\">article<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>It went on to say that there are four vital parts of a Mobile Device Management tool that can save your business from being attacked:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Virtual Fencing<\/strong> \u2013An MDM solution uses locations, Wi-Fi Service Set Identifiers, and time to create the borders and secure data. You can set up a \u201cfence trigger\u201d to be notified when the device enters of leaves the borders.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reporting<\/strong> \u2013 Reporting allows for statistics on all company-owned devices to be turned into insights and help protect and enhance your business.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mobile Web Security<\/strong> \u2013 This part of an MDM solution enables you to block keywords, domains and more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flexible Policies<\/strong> \u2013 Policy flexibility is also a key part of the MDM pie; it allows users to apply policies to a team to prevent losing data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can never be armed with enough information when it comes to ransomware and protecting your business.
