Mobile Device Management (MDM) tools were originally designed to reduce the time running around to perform IT tasks, not to secure them. While they play a key role in enforcing corporate policies, today's cybersecurity landscape demands much more, especially as organizations embrace OS diversity, BYOD, contractors, remote work, and hybrid teams.

In most organizations, IT teams sometimes have a dangerously misleading sense of control thanks to tools like MDMs. However, most traditional solutions like that don’t account for the entire device landscape used in hybrid work.

Modern Zero Trust security isn’t built on a single product or policy. It’s an adaptive framework based on continuous verification of users, networks, apps, and critically, devices.

Most organizations preparing for ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification are told to “just deploy an MDM.”But here’s the truth:Neither SOC 2 nor ISO 27001 require MDM. What they require are outcomes: device visibility, policy enforcement, and risk mitigation.

The change towards remote and hybrid-first workforce has made the line between personal and professional devices more blurred than ever.

The endpoint landscape has changed. With BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) now the norm, the traditional approach to mobile device management (MDM) no longer works. Choosing the right endpoint protection solution in 2025 is not just a technical decision, it’s a strategic one that impacts compliance, privacy, reputation, and business resilience.

59% of remote workers report feeling anxious about being monitored by their employer. That statistic does not just hint at a problem; it clearly points to a crisis of trust in the digital workplace.

Choosing a SaaS solution today isn’t just about features or price. It’s also about trust, shared values, and accountability.

Filmustage, a fully remote team of full-time contractors, needed a way to secure personal devices and achieve SOC 2 and ISO compliance without disrupting their flexible workflows.

Stratus Add-ons, a company developing plugins for Atlassian apps, was preparing for their SOC 2 certification and needed a simple but powerful way to secure personal devices across their workforce without the complexity of traditional MDM systems.

Cyberbeveiliging lijkt soms ingewikkeld, maar het is cruciaal voor elk bedrijf, ongeacht de grootte. De meeste bedrijven focussen hun cyberveiligheid erg op het bedrijfsnetwerk, dit is een ietwat verouderde aanpak, aangezien we meer en meer cloudtoepassingen zijn gaan gebruiken die van overal beschikbaar zijn.

We increasingly store our lives, both work and personal, on our devices. Laptops, phones, tablets: all of those hold everything from confidential work documents to personal memories and login credentials.
