Securing Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) Without Invading Employee Privacy
Using Mobile Application Management (MAM) to containerize corporate data on personal smartphones without wiping personal photos.
The Friction Between Security and Employee Privacy
Demanding full Mobile Device Management (MDM) enrollment on employee personal devices causes friction because staff fear IT admins can see their personal photos, browser history, or wipe their personal devices.
The Power of MAM Containerization
Microsoft Intune Mobile Application Management (MAM) applies security controls exclusively to corporate apps (Outlook, Teams, OneDrive) without enrolling or managing the personal operating system.
Enforcing App Protection Policies
Configure MAM policies to: mandate biometric PIN upon opening corporate apps, block copying and pasting text from Outlook into personal WhatsApp, and encrypt corporate app sandboxes. If an employee resigns, perform a selective wipe of work data in one click.
