MaaS360 is a cognitive unified end-point management (UEM) solution developed by experts in IBM. Contemporary work environments have long since outgrown a localized workplace environment limited to in-house devices. Unfortunately, this ease of accessibility can lead to a wide variety of security issues.
UEM is an answer to the modern workplace challenges, including the Internet of Things (IoT), remote working and BYOD. With MaaS360, corporate data security is protected by more than firewalls. Even when a company’s network is routinely accessed through BYOD avenues, remote deletion capabilities eliminate the potential for information to be lost if the wrong person accesses a missing laptop, mobile, etc. UEM safeguards the device, the corporate applications and data, enterprise content and manages the access and threats.
