Many businesses have already transitioned to remote work, enabling their employees to work from home. If you’re a company, you might have concerns about implementing remote work for your staff, like worries about management, productivity, and security. However, don’t fret! TECHOM Systems offers the Hexnode MDM solution, which provides capabilities to address these concerns and ease the company transition.
Simple Deployment Process
The deployment of devices using ‘Zero-Touch’ solutions is not solely intended for social distancing purposes but rather offers the ability to monitor the health and status of devices through the Hexnode MDM portal after they have been enrolled. Hexnode provides a variety of open enrollment methods, including sending enrollment details to users through email, messages, and QR codes for bulk deployments.
Some of the methods for zero-touch enrollment include Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager, Android Zero Touch, Samsung Knox, and Android ROM/OEM enrollments.
Configuration Preparation
One useful method for utilizing Hexnode MDM is by pre-configuring policies and sending them to devices during the enrollment process. These policies include mandatory applications, device restrictions, advanced restrictions, password policies, kiosk policies, application permissions, configurations, cataloguing, security policies, and more. By pre-configuring and sending these policies, the devices are immediately ready for use upon enrollment.
Limitations
Hexnode MDM offers a wide range of limitations and precise management of your devices, such as:
Requiring a code to protect business information. The strength of the password can be adjusted, and the frequency of updates can be determined, ensuring the continual safety of company data.
The Hexnode MDM portal allows for the activation and deactivation of various button controls, such as home, power, aeroplane mode, safe mode, lock screen shortcuts, home screen widgets, lock screen timeout, and orientation.
Frequently, wifi, Bluetooth, and mobile data are utilized for stronger security, along with the option to copy and paste between work and personal apps. Users can also enable or disable GPS settings, as well as set a mock location and prompt a location fetch. This helps guarantee better security measures.
At Last, the setup of blocking the option to remove the MDM on the device can also be implemented.
For specific supported devices, there are advanced restrictions available that cover a wide range of features such as Microphone, Screen Capture, NFC, app installation and uninstallation, Airdrop, AirPlay, App stores, messages, calls, system bars, orientation, cellular network configurations, volume settings, clipboard settings, and network configurations for wifi and portable hotspot. As updates continue to add more features, we are constantly updating our capabilities to help enterprises prevent unwanted updates from becoming a nightmare.
Need to restrict access to only necessary applications? Utilize Hexnode’s kiosk features to secure it.
With Hexnode MDM, you have the ability to secure your devices by using either the Single App kiosk mode to limit access to one application or the Multi App kiosk mode to restrict access to multiple applications. These lockdown options are accessible for iOS, iPadOS, Android, and Windows devices. Additionally, Hexnode offers the capability to control actions and device features while in kiosk mode.
Also, iOS and iPadOS devices offer the option of autonomous single-app lockdown, allowing users to lock their devices and run only one selected application in the background without any interruptions. This feature can be particularly useful for schools administering exams and employees focusing on a single task.
Geo-Tracking and Edge Setting
Hexnode MDM offers precise location tracking and geo-fencing capabilities, allowing employees to be remotely monitored. Additionally, Hexnode allows for the integration of alternative map APIs in addition to the default services, ensuring the safety and productivity of employees while they work from home.
The geofence policies can oversee employees by creating a virtual boundary around their residence. If an employee exits the boundary, you will receive a notification through email, portal alert, text message, and other means.
Actions from a distance
Some of the features offered are remote view, remote control, and remote wipe. With the remote view option, you can monitor the content your employees view on their screens. This enables you to track those who may need assistance or supervision. It can also be useful for providing support and resolving any queries or concerns regarding device usage.
Controlling Remotely
The remote-control function available on Android devices (Android Enterprise, Knox devices, Rooted devices) can be utilized to resolve user issues remotely as needed.
The remote erase function is crucial in situations where there is a suspicion of unauthorized access to confidential corporate information. It allows for the remote locking or erasure of the data on the device in order to maintain security.
Encryption, network management, and application
The data management and network management features offered by Hexnode can effectively control and supervise the usage of corporate data. If the enterprise suspects a breach or security risk, remote actions can be taken to eliminate and safeguard the data.
Application management can be utilized to blacklist unnecessary applications, and it also offers the option to allow apps on the Hexnode MDM portal. By whitelisting apps, only those on the whitelist can be used, while all others will be deemed blacklisted. This feature is also applicable to websites. These policies not only prevent employee distractions but also enforce the use of corporate devices solely for work purposes.
The use of encryption on devices can be beneficial when it comes to protecting sensitive corporate data on devices that employees utilize. Popular examples of this include Bitlocker for Windows and File Vault for macOS devices.
Hexnode offers a wide range of device management capabilities, which are only briefly mentioned here. Companies need to utilize these functionalities to effectively manage their devices and enable their employees to work remotely. This will help us as a community to overcome the current challenges.
