Extending modern endpoint management


capabilities to iOS and Android devices

Organizations are deploying mobile devices, both phones and tablets, across the enterprise at an
accelerated pace. BigFix Mobile allows IT and Security teams to extend endpoint management to
include enterprise-owned and employee-owned (BYOD) mobile devices.

Beyond providing organizations with full visibility into iOS and Android devices, and traditional
endpoints, BigFix Mobile makes it easier to manage the lifecycle of mobile devices - from enrollment
to retirement - using key MDM actions and hundreds of MDM policies. BigFix Mobile enables
organizations to better deploy the latest productivity and enhance devices while maintaining
organizational standards for security and data protection.

Organizations can consolidate tools, extend security to


mobile devices, streamline, and automate endpoint
management processes for optimal efficiency gains
using BigFix Mobile.

IT and Security teams now have a single endpoint


management platform to manage every endpoint, and find
more, fix more and do more, faster.
