Mobile Device Management MDM

The former Federal IT Steering Unit introduced MDM throughout the Federal Administration for the first time with the Mobile Device Management (MDM) program. MDM enables secure use of business data and applications on federal mobile devices. As part of the program, an inventory of smart devices used in the federal administration was realized and a secure environment (sandbox) for federal data held on these devices was made available to all employees who have a business need. More complex additional functionalities and accesses, such as to the intranet, were also provided. With the introduction of MDM, specifications and requirements from the ICT Strategy of the Federal Government 2012 - 2015, the sub-strategy for mobile working, and the HR strategy were implemented.
