As a cost saving measure, a company has instructed the security engineering team to allow all consumer devices to be able to access the network. They have asked for recommendations on what is needed…

An Enterprise Appstore alone controls app distribution but lacks the device-level management capabilities required to remotely wipe stolen devices or enforce device-wide security baselines.

A client-side VPN with an Enterprise Appstore secures network traffic but provides no mechanism for application policy enforcement or remote device wipe when a device is stolen.

TLS encrypts data in transit at the transport layer but provides no device management, application control, or stolen-device remediation capabilities.

MDM (Mobile Device Management) enables centralized enforcement of security policies, control over installed applications, and remote wipe or lock of lost or stolen devices. Combined with MEAP, which provides a managed runtime and distribution mechanism for enterprise mobile apps, this pairing directly addresses both application flexibility and stolen-device risk requirements.
