Best Practice for a Misplaced Device
As business assets, your devices should be equipped with a Mobile Device Management Solution (MDM). Some devices have simple proprietary mdm systems preinstalled or you should choose a providers such as Google, IBM, Cisco Meraki and Microsoft, among a few, to suit your device management requirements.
As general best practice, you should determine if a lost device has been stolen or temporarily misplaced.
Most mdm solutions offer a last or current location search option – just like find my iPhone. EDN can use the device mdm option to locate a lost mobile device (Android or iOS). If it’s determined to be stolen, most mdm solutions also offer the ability to remove all data and app content as well as locking the device from use.
Generally, the next connection to the internet results in the device going through this process of locking down the device. We recommend the contacting your mdm business provider for further investigation and to ensure the device has been locked.
