Background:
Government sectors is a complex institutional part of the economy that provides a wide range of services ranging from enterprises, education, social services, urban planning and many more. Nowadays government agencies and sectors are working towards adopting mobility programs to increase productivity and reducing the security risk that is commonly aggravated by the fact that these sectors deal with high-level security information daily.
The Challenge:
Deployment and enrollment of devices in the government sectors demand the ultimate security any Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions can offer since anything that is connected to the Internet is a security risk. The obstacles to implement EMM lies in having to manage and organize inventory management and communications through barcode scanning as well as to be able to manage the device remotely once they are connected to the corporate network.
The Solution:
Knox platform managed to help the sectors with the implementation of Kiosk mode to allow only specific apps can be used for stock inventory and barcode scanning, providing a lockdown screen to optimize the user’s experience. Knox also enables the user to define the security policies to monitor compliance for secure access to the corporate network with the user’s mobile devices. A standard Mobile Device Management (MDM) feature is the ability to wipe and lock the device remotely providing protection for both the device and the data.
The Result:
Business mobility provides thorough security and management to the government sectors using barcode scanning operations. Knox platform is recognized as the industry preferred EMM solution to manage the devices. The platform gives visibility and control of the device’s operations while having the ability to control and update devices remotely and centrally.
