Cloud Mobile Device Management

ESET Cloud Mobile Device Management (Cloud MDM) is an add-on feature native to ESET PROTECT. ESET Cloud MDM provides Android and iOS mobile device management and mobile security administration. You need ESET Mobile Threat Defense to manage mobile devices via ESET PROTECT.

ESET Cloud MDM provides an agent-less solution where the management Agent is not running directly on the mobile device (to save battery and performance of the mobile device). Instead, the management agent for the mobile device is virtualized in the ESET cloud.

ESET manages security and connection certificate management, so the administrator does not have to worry about the certificate renewal process or if the certificates are up to the latest security standards.

Verify that your mobile device OS version is supported for Cloud MDM management and that you meet the network requirements.
