Do All Your Employees Really Need a Mobile Device Management (MDM) Solution?
Everybody knows that an organization needs to protect its emails. We’re more acutely aware than ever how dangerous it is to leave email containing private or sensitive information unsecured and vulnerable to malicious hackers. But are Mobile Device Management (MDM) apps really the best way for companies to secure their employees’ email?
On the surface, Mobile Device Management apps seem like a good way to allow employees to use their personal phones to read and reply to email without violating corporate policy. Maintaining the ability to remotely wipe company email is important. MDMs are positioned as scalable and cost-effective.
However, we’ve talked to multiple CISOs, and they all agree: very few of their employees use any feature of their MDMs other than email. Companies that require their employees to use MDMs usually aren’t using most of what they’re actually paying for. And MDMs often don’t encrypt employee email in the first place, or encrypt mobile email, but not desktop email. Additionally, some MDMs host a company’s email on their own servers, introducing another point of vulnerability.
This is where Inky Secure Mail can secure a company’s email better than an MDM. Inky can encrypt every email your employees send, both mobile and desktop. Inky’s encryption is end to end — not even your cloud provider can read an email once it’s been encrypted by Inky. Better still, Inky’s email app doesn’t require any training or complicated installation. Set up the app or the Inky plugin, add your company email account, and presto, you’re ready to send encrypted emails that only the recipients can read, and even receive encrypted replies. Inky also allows organizations to wipe emails remotely and follow corporate policies. Inky can do the one thing most employees need out of their MDMs: email security — and do it better. Inky Secure Mail is an elegant, cost-effective alternative to expensive MDMs. Putting your workforce on Inky is the best way to secure all your email.
