Panda Security is introducing a mobile device management feature to boost companies' security and control.
Panda Cloud Systems Management (PCSM) is designed to help IT departments and service providers manage, monitor and support all types of devices on their computer networks.
"PCSM's new mobile device management (MDM) feature will help IT departments and service providers manage all mobile devices such as laptops, tablets and smartphones, whether in the office or on the road, centrally from a single Web console, accessible anytime, anywhere. In short, with this new functionality, IT administrators will be able to generate consolidated reports of all devices on their network, including smartphones, easily and quickly," says Jeremy Matthews, country manager at Panda Security South Africa.
He says the solution will enable companies to perform network audits, monitor computers and remotely control, deploy and update software.
"With the introduction of these new features, Panda cloud systems management decreases costs, increases savings and simplifies IT processes significantly for customers," explains Matthews.
With the increasing mobility in today's workforce, the wide variety of mobile device platforms available makes control and management significantly more difficult, he notes.
"The loss or theft of one of these devices represents a serious breach of the company's security and may expose valuable confidential information," he says. "MDM helps organisations find and recover missing mobile devices, obtaining their co-ordinates and showing the devices' location on a map."
These new features add to those already present in previous versions, including the ability to perform network audits, manage files, monitor systems, provide remote support and generate reports, Matthews concludes.
