Executive teams at these organizations understand that security is critical for mobile devices. In fact, according to a recent\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/surveys.survata.com\/public\/e9ae5beb-9953-487d-ae99-ba30badc02d2\/netenrich-survey-enterprise-mobility-security-goals--challenges\">NetEnrich survey<\/a>\u00a0of IT professionals, 68 percent of those polled say protecting their data from security breaches is one of their top priorities. And their\u00a0concerns are growing.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0cost of managing smartphone inventory is a big one, according to an <a href=\"https:\/\/insights.samsung.com\/2016\/12\/16\/mobile-device-security-for-the-budget-savvy-smb\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Insights<\/em> post from Samsung.<\/a>\u00a0The tech giant\u00a0suggested selecting a line of mobile devices from a reputable company, saying it\u2019s important to balance security and price. It\u2019s also vital to ensure that the line comes with device protection and\u00a0cloud management solutions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To achieve those things, consider asking the following questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is device authentication enforced?<\/li>\n<li>How does the device update?<\/li>\n<li>How are apps permissions managed?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You&#8217;ll also want to know if encryption is inherent as not all phones encrypt network communication. It&#8217;s a vital tool organizations use to conceal data and stop unauthorized users from accessing the content on a device.<\/p>\n<p>Another concern for IT pros is whether or not\u00a0devices have a security ecosystem. Samsung Knox got the most \u201cStrong\u201d ratings compared to any other mobile security platform, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/gartner.com\" target=\"_blank\">Gartner<\/a>, given that devices protected by Knox are manufactured and configured in a Samsung factory.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re the decision maker within your SMB, it\u2019s important to know that all devices are not the same and budget smartphones could be the reason your company endures a hack, or worse. Avoid those issues and ensure that you have an all-in-one solution that secures devices and provides a cloud-based EMM or MDM tool.<\/p>\n<p>Mobile devices can give productivity a lift and allow employees to work together more efficiently, if security is paramount.<\/p>\n<p>According to Samsung, &#8220;When small business decision-makers invest in solutions that combine security, management and ease-of-use, they\u2019ll increase employee productivity and boost overall efficiency.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget\"><div class=\"aside-card\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a class=\"speedbump-1\" href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/mobile-device-management\/buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1682\" title=\"MDM Buyer's Guide\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/mobile-device-management\/files\/2019\/02\/mobility-bg-speedbump.jpg\" alt=\"Download Link to MDM Buyer's Guide\" width=\"800\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Small to mid-sized businesses (SMB\u2019s) need mobile device management (MDM) just as much as large enterprises.
