Working from home is here to stay and many people do work from home<\/em>, even when they\u2019re office bound. These team members frequently want to use their own devices, which potentially blends personal usage with corporate data and resources. You may have heard of bring your own device (BYOD), which is the mobility management that best describes this concept. BYOD requires IT teams to obtain real-time visibility and control while respecting personal boundaries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are turning to Android device management to implement an effective BYOD strategy. Below, we\u2019ll describe what Android EMM is<\/a>, how it enables a BYOD approach, and the unique features that make it a worthwhile investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Android EMM?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Android enterprise mobility management (EMM) enables IT to enroll, provision, track, troubleshoot, and secure BYOD and corporate-owned (COD) Android devices remotely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

IT and security teams leverage Android EMM to monitor devices in real time, reducing the chances of data theft and leakage. Admins use an EMM console to register Android devices, install the Android Device Policy app, and set up Managed Google Play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Android Enterprise Recommended providers meet an advanced set of enterprise requirements. Android Device Policy, a policy controller that\u2019s built into Android, pulls management policies from your approved EMM provider and automatically applies it to every device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managed Google Play serves as a private app store. IT admins set deployment options and policies such as web app publishing, private app publishing, app organization, and public app search. BYOD users will only be able to install organization-approved apps on work profiles. Users will notice a clear separation between their personal use and business apps\/data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JumpCloud is an approved EMM provider, and can manage all devices from a centralized administrative console. It supports Apple products, Android, Linux, and Windows PCs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Android EMM Work with BYOD?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

IT and security teams have to find ways to embrace BYOD policies<\/a> while maintaining the same level of org-wide security. Android EMM helps by keeping work data secure and separate from personal data, safeguarding company resources and data. Containerization of Android<\/a> gives IT admins significant flexibility to handle BYOD scenarios by deploying a core set of policies that are best for their organization(s). Corporate-owned devices may be fully managed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
