14 DAY TRIAL // Panda Security has launched a new version of the company’s remote management and monitoring solution Panda Cloud Systems Management (PCSM).
PCSM – which is used by organizations for network audits, monitoring, and software updates and installations – now includes Mobile Device Management (MDM) capabilities. This enables organizations to control all the mobile devices used by employees from a single administrative console.
“Thanks to PCSM’s new MDM (Mobile Device Management) feature, IT departments and service providers can now manage all mobile devices (laptops, tablets and smartphones), whether in the office or on the road, centrally from a single Web console accessible anytime, anywhere,” noted Manuel Santamaría, product manager director at Panda Security.
“In short, with this new functionality, IT administrators will be able to generate consolidated reports of all devices on their network, including smartphones, easily and quickly.”
Making sure that the information stored on mobile devices is properly protected has become highly important for many organizations. However, the task is not easy to accomplish, particularly due to the emergence of the BYOD trend.
The integration of the MDM feature in PCSM allows IT administrators to manage not only Mac and Windows laptops, but also tablets and smartphones running iOS and Android.
A company using Panda’s solution can monitor a device’s location, the hardware and software components installed on it, and any system changes. IT departments can use PCSM to enforce password policies, lock devices remotely, erase confidential data in case the machine is lost or stolen, and even perform a factory reset.
These features are highly important when it comes to protecting valuable corporate data from falling into the wrong hands.
For compliance and logging purposes, organizations can easily generate reports that show the status of the devices connected to the network.
