The market for Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) has evolved. These management strategies were designed chiefly for smartphones and tablets when the BYOD movement was in its preliminary stages. Just when organizations were becoming proficient at traditional endpoint management, a new disruptor arrived – the Internet of Things (IoT) – bringing a raft of new connected devices.

MDM and EMM are not equipped to manage the emerging Enterprise of Things (EoT), made up of all the IoT devices in today’s workplace. New use cases and the increasing fragmentation of endpoints present new security and logistical challenges that demand a different management approach.
