In today’s fast-paced, mobile-first environment, the average organization faces countless mobile threats—from phishing attacks and productivity drains to compliance violations and data theft.
As mobile devices become essential business tools, companies must ask themselves a simple question:
“How are we securing and managing these devices?”
At Premier Business, we work with organizations every day to answer that question—and implement powerful, practical Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions tailored to their needs.
Why MDM Is Now Mission-Critical
Here’s a hard truth: Nearly 50% of organizations either don’t use MDM or use it ineffectively. That’s a problem when more than 70% of fraudulent transactions originate from mobile devices.
If your organization hasn’t fully embraced MDM, you’re not just behind—you’re exposed. Whether you’re managing remote employees, navigating compliance demands, or simply trying to prevent distractions, MDM is the strategic foundation you need.
3 Business Drivers for MDM Adoption
1. Regulatory Compliance
Industries that handle sensitive customer data—like healthcare, banking, finance, law, and manufacturing—face strict compliance mandates. With over half of cyber threats tied to mobile devices, MDM is essential to securing data and meeting HIPAA, PCI, or GDPR standards.
2. BYOD Security Risks
About 82% of businesses now allow Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs. This flexibility is great for productivity, but it creates massive security risks:
-
85% of companies experienced a mobile cyberattack in the last year.
-
90% of corporate breaches start with mobile phishing.
-
Mobile malware attacks are up 50% year-over-year.
MDM enables secure app access, data containerization, and policy enforcement across personal devices—without invading personal privacy.
3. Productivity Management
Unrestricted device use leads to time loss and distraction. MDM tools let you:
-
Block social media or gaming apps during work hours.
-
Set geofences to control where and when specific apps are available.
-
Remotely manage and lock devices to ensure focus and efficiency.
The Top Mobile Threats MDM Can Prevent
🔐 Malware & Data Theft
Disguised as harmless apps, malware can steal sensitive business data. MDM restricts app installations and enforces patch updates to keep users safe.
💸 Financial Fraud & Extortion
Apps like “SpyLoan” masquerade as legit tools but harvest employee data—risking customer records and brand reputation.
📡 Insecure Data Transmission
Without encryption, mobile apps can expose data to “man-in-the-middle” attacks. MDM forces encrypted connections and flags risky apps before they do damage.

MDM Is Just the Start of a Smarter Mobility Strategy
Think of MDM not as a standalone solution, but as part of a broader enterprise mobility management (EMM) approach. As you build out this strategy, consider combining MDM with:
-
Wireless Expense Management (WEM) — Control costs and usage.
-
End-of-Life Device Policies — Ensure proper data wiping before disposal.
-
Remote Work Infrastructure — Keep mobile and hybrid teams secure and efficient.
Common Misconceptions We Clear Up All the Time
-
“MDM feels like surveillance.”
Not true. You can containerize MDM to affect only work-related apps—preserving employee privacy. -
“People will find a way around it.”
Not if it’s configured right. We help lock down loopholes like browser access to blocked platforms. -
“We don’t have the IT resources.”
That’s why our team offers co-managed and fully managed solutions. We handle the complexity so you can focus on outcomes.
