Bitdefender: Protecting Enterprise Mobile Devices through Holistic Approach
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) concept is gaining momentum across the globe. Over 72 percent of organizations in the US have already implemented BYOD culture, since this not only acts as an attractive business model but also allows greater flexibility and boosts employee productivity as well. However, there are several security risks that are involved with this movement. Therefore, organizations need to secure their applications with Enterprise mobility and Enterprise security solutions.
This is where Bitdefender comes into the picture. Through its holistic mobile security approach and Secure mobile solution, the company helps organizations minimize IT intervention and maintain compliancein the BYOD process. By implementing centralized security policy management of iOS and android devices, the company aids BYOD initiatives. Also, for non-compliant devices, it takes pre-defined actions such as denial of access to corporate services, permanently locking the device or even wiping the device in case it has been stolen and rooted.
This solution is designed in such a way that it supports controlled adoption of BYOD (bring-your-own-device) concept. Therefore, it enforces security policies consistently on all users’ devices, which results in protection of sensitive business information. Security for mobile by Bitdefender facilitates easy management of devices through the same web-based console that is used to manage virtualized and physical endpoints.
“Our mobile security approach allows organizations to administer security policies for mobile devices with no extra infrastructure. Moreover, all these can be performed from the same management platform that is used to control security across virtualized and physical points,” affirms Zakir Hussain, Director, BD Soft - Country Partner, Bitdefender.

Centralized management of lost and stolen devices
With the centralized management of lost and stolen devices feature, Bitdefender ensures that all the currently existing iOS and android operating systems are built with security features so that it can ensure data privacy even when these devices are lost.
Real-time and on-demand anti-malware scanning
Bitdefender’s Security for Mobile solution helps organizations to secure and manage iOS and Android mobile devices through its unified security feature. Regardless of the platform the device holds, these devices can be controlled from a single point of control. Most importantly the real-time and on-demand anti-malware scanning for android devices ensures that these devices are completely free of malicious code. Whenever, a removable secondary storage device is inserted or a new application is being installed, the scanning gets triggered automatically. This helps in detecting android malware and prevents mobile users from distributing infected files to both internal and external users of the organization.
Single solution for Enterprise owned devices and Employees’ personal devices
Bitdefender not only provides security solutions for enterprise applications, but provides security solutions for personal applications and devices as well. This solution is equally applicable for both the enterprise owned mobile devices and employees devices too. Bitdefender’s Mobile security solution enables users to quickly switch profiles covering connectivity and encryption (VPN) settings based on the services the user needs.
