Remote work is on the rise. To maintain the integrity of IT infrastructure, businesses may provide employees who work from home with dedicated company devices.
However, there are times when these devices don’t make it to the intended recipient, perhaps through loss during shipment, mishandled deliveries, or even theft. Devices containing sensitive company information can pose serious security risks if they fall into the wrong hands.
In this blog, we’ll look at how Miradore can help prevent loss and recover missing devices, saving time and costs in your organization and enhancing the security of your infrastructure.
Miradore’s solution for missing mobile devices
Miradore’s mobile device management (MDM) system helps recover devices that go missing during shipment through enrollment technologies such as:
- Apple: Automatic Device Enrollment
- Samsung: KNOX Mobile Enrollment
- Google: Android for Enterprise Zero Touch
If you’re a Miradore customer and one of your mobile devices goes missing during delivery to a staff member at home or at another branch, we can assist you.
By using these enrollment technologies, you can assign the device to a generic user, like a "LostAndFound" account, which has location tracking enabled. This allows you to fully manage the device, putting iOS devices in Lost Mode and Android devices in Kiosk Mode.
You can even send messages to the lock screen to communicate with whoever finds or steals the device. Many lost devices have been successfully returned this way.
What you can do
As a business owner, here are some actionable steps you can take to minimize occurrences of missing devices:
- Use enrollment technologies. They not only help you in the case of theft or loss, but also save you time during setup of your end devices.
- Activate lock screen messages. Use the Passcode Policy for Android or Advanced Configuration for iOS to let a possible finder know who the owner is.
- Prepare a user and business policy. Make sure your company has legal policies and protocols in place in case mobile devices go missing during shipment.
