Mobile management: Apple's extra requirement

摘要

Anyone wanting to buy mobile-device management software to manage Apple iOS devices will find they need a special digital certificate from Apple to activate it, a requirement that doesn't apply to the same MDM software that would be used to manage Google Android devices, for instance. MDM software - such as that from Mobilelron, Good Technology, Sybase, AirWatch, McAfee, Symantec and several others - is loaded onto mobile smartphones and tablets to allow IT managers to keep track of employee equipment, to remotely wipe these devices and to apply security controls. Enterprises buying MDM software to manage Apple iOS devices are sometimes surprised to find out about the Apple digital certificate requirement that they must obtain.
