MaaS360 Offers Total Device, App and Document Management

Virtual learning involves apps that are part of the lesson plan and faculty-owned devices. While these apps can improve the education experience, they also increase risk of security breaches for confidential information, including financial data, student grades and medical information.

 MaaS360 helps organizations secure sensitive information, prevent data leaks, and comply with CIPA (Child Internet Protection Act), PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and other regulations.

Using MaaS360, Mobile Device Management (MDM), Mobile Application Management (MAM), and document and expense management, you can substantially reduce the IT workload and cost of managing mobile devices, apps and documents.
