Android App Management and Mobile Application Management (MAM)

Why LimaxLock Mobile Application Management is important

Today everyone is becoming technophile. The workforce bringing the smartphone to the workplace gives birth to many potential security attacks, illegal sharing of corporate data, violating the company’s policy, and a wide range of other risk factors. Mobile Device Management is also an effective way to resolve this issue to some extent, but there is a genuine need to enforce security standards at the application level. To ensure safe application life cycle management without compromising the workflow and usability of applications, there is a need to employ LimaxLock Mobile Application Management software along with Mobile Device Management software.

LimaxLock Mobile Device Management (MDM) vs. LimaxLock Mobile Application Management (MAM)

LimaxLock Mobile Device Management (MDM) primarily deals with enforcing device-level security standards. It provides end-user device enrollment, whitelisting applications and websites, allowing/restricting device-level functionality, enforcing access to a specific browser and location tracking. However, it falls short in providing application-level high security. LimaxLock Mobile Application Management primarily deals with providing high-level security at the application level, focusing only on the application and data used in the application. It allows enforcing industry standards at the application level. To achieve excellent security and usability, organizations must adopt both LimaxLock MDM and LimaxLock MAM.

How does LimaxLock Mobile Application Management work?

The working of LimaxLock Mobile Application Management (MAM) is divided into two major phases

• Application Sandboxing

  In this phase, the worthy applications used for technical work, business collaborations and marketing are isolated from all other applications. If the required application is not in-house, then there is a facility to download it from the managed Play Store. IT Administrator can silently download the applications on all AfW (Android for Work) enrolled devices. Data used by applications in this isolated area is termed as the container. Isolation specifies that applications inside the container are unable to interact with other applications and can’t leave the container. This process is also known as containerization

• Device Level MAM Using MDM Portal

  Through LimaxLock Mobile Application Management (MAM), IT administrators can manage only applications by applying app protection corporate policies. These policies are enforced on applications installed on a device enrolled through Mobile device Management (MDM). MDM deals with monitoring the entire device to see what is being accessed and shared through the device, as it is not restricted to applications. Customers who want to manage applications through MDM+ MAM should go for LimaxLock

Improved Security service

The LimaxLock MAM ensures the isolation of the organization apps and personal app. It completely restricts the data flow and any kind of sharing of information, as well as resources outside the container. It obstructs unauthorized access while also protecting sensitive corporate data from external security threats and malware attacks

Enhanced productivity

LimaxLock MAM facilitates the IT administrator to silently install, configure, update, and uninstall applications Enterprise App Store on enrolled devices. End-users can access all required business applications without compromising their usability. This process improves the workflow and allows quick decision-making

Elegant Workflow

The LimaxLock MAM simplifies and secures the usability of enterprise-specific applications, which leads to streamlining workflow. It provides a better communication gateway. Employees produce the best outcomes through deep work, as all distracted/personal usage applications are kept away from users inside the organization campus.LimaxLock MAM also helps reduce data costs by avoiding unwanted access, as the access provided to an application is user-specific

Superior Customer Experience

LimaxLock allows special access to certain applications for the employees on-field or working in the marketing department. While facing the customer, this feature enables the employees to resolve customer queries, troubleshoot any issue, and take required immediate action

Reduces IT Hassles

LimaxLock MAM facilitates the It administrator to configure, distribute, manage, control and monitor the enrolled end-user user actions not only effortlessly but also seamlessly. admin work further simplified through collaborative silent and secure app installations, updates, and maintenance. Without single permission from the end device, the admin can remotely manage everything, which leads to minimal admin and zero user intervention. Remote and real-time data access adds an edge in overall performance

Organization-Specific Application Catalog

This facility will create a separate application catalogue for your organization. The app in the catalogue can either consist of an in-house-built application for serving the specific organizational purpose or a publicly available application from the Enterprise App Store

Silent application installation

LimaxLock MAM provides a silent application install, update and delete feature. Without any permission from the end-user device, the IT administrator can install the needed application and uninstall any unwanted application through the container

Application Whitelisting

In today’s world, to boost the productivity and deep work of employees in a distracted world, only blocking some applications is not sufficient. There is a need for whitelisting all the required applications which will block all the remaining applications automatically. end-user can’t install any application; it has the authority to use only those applications whose direct access is provided by the admin

Application Configurations and permissions

When the application gets installed, there is a need to do some primary settings. An application may require some device permission to be granted. Doing the prior setup configuration and granting permission to each application on the individual device may maybe a hectic and time-consuming task for the admin. LimaxLock MAM gives a better alternative to this repetitive work by just setting all required configurations as well as permissions at once and  just ready-to-use applications with zero user interventions

Application-Specific Restriction and Policies

LimaxLock MAM has the facility to configure application-specific restrictions and corporate policies as per organizational demand. There is a need for specific application restrictions/ policies from locking some applications to kiosk mode, signing through a single corporate account on each device, to connecting a corporate network or virtual private network. This could be a major step towards restricting the sharing of data, application usage and many other important factors which may pose a security threat

Application-oriented Reports

LimaxLock MAM provides an application-specific report based on the granular details of the user profile on which the application is installed, and the access time of individual profiles. These reports are very useful in the audit

Enterprise App Store Access

After creating a customized app catalogue and configuring applications on the end user device, if there is any further requirement, these publicly available applications can be installed through a managed Play Store called Enterprise App Store. It provides better navigation in the Play Store for installing the secured app without being affected by threats and malware attacks
