(new products, unstoppable BYO), the key is to focus on your

Focus On a first • What is the goal you are trying to accomplish? What kind of a development does
deliverable it require? What kind of hardware? What is company-critical, how critical is it, how
do you want to secure it?
Anticipate • What is your implementation path? - see next slide
Difficulties and • At each of its steps, which kind of difficulties will you encounter, and how do you
next steps intend to address them?
• Innovate: do not take the usual road, take the smartest road

12. ... may actually not be an issue
MAM MDM
✦ Non-invasive approach, ideal for all ✦ Device-invasive “lock-down”
devices including BYO device policies approach for corporate issued &
kiosk devices, not BYO devices
✦ Manages all aspects of deploying apps
in the enterprise ✦ Device security protects after
physical loss by wiping device
✦ Continually protects apps and data
while in-use against malware ✦ Complex configuration settings for
IT Admin
✦ Cloud-based
✦ “MAM” = App catalog
✦ Admin intuitive & simplified
Both approaches are actually quite complementary
- depending on your need, you may first choose one, then add the other-
It all depends on your defined priorities and the features focus
13. The quote
Alan Murray, our SVP of products:
"If the corporation owns the device, it should manage it.
When is it valid to manage the application? Always."
