The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
In recent years, the use of mobile devices in companies has increased significantly, driving the need for secure and efficient management of these devices. Jöbstl faces fragmented control of company and personal phones without central security policies during its digital transformation. The implementation of a Mobile Device Management (MDM) system is therefore crucial for establishing centralised control, automated installation of updates and remote device management. The results showed that the introduction of an MDM system significantly improves data protection, increases visibility over devices and reduces the administrative burden on the IT department, representing an important step towards greater digital security and company efficiency.
Problem
In recent years, the use of mobile devices in companies has increased significantly, driving the need for secure and efficient management of these devices. Jöbstl faces fragmented control of company and personal phones without central security policies during its digital transformation. Such circumstances increase the risk of unauthorised access, data loss and misuse in the event of device loss or theft.
Solution and Method
The implementation of a Mobile Device Management (MDM) system is therefore crucial for establishing centralised control, automated installation of updates and remote device management. The purpose of the diploma thesis was to investigate the impact of introducing an MDM solution on mobile device security, operational efficiency of IT infrastructure and optimisation of work processes at Jöbstl. The objectives included analysing the current situation in the company, selecting an appropriate solution, technical implementation, testing functionality and preparing strategies for responding to potential incidents.
The research was based on analysis of professional literature in the field of MDM and cybersecurity, a case study with analysis of internal documents and observation of work processes. This was followed by planned implementation of the selected solution and extensive testing of its functionalities and security mechanisms. Given the company's infrastructural and financial constraints, ManageEngine Endpoint Central was selected as the optimal solution.
The platform was installed locally on Windows Server 2022, integrated with Active Directory and adapted for users without AD accounts. Security policies were configured, such as complex passwords, memory encryption, application and network restrictions, and network segmentation and closed server zoning were also established.
Results
The results showed that the introduction of an MDM system significantly improves data protection, increases visibility over devices and reduces the administrative burden on the IT department, representing an important step towards greater digital security and company efficiency.
