Why You Should Rethink MDM as Your Mobility Strategy
As mobile solutions become integral to business operations, leaders face critical decisions about which mobility strategy is right for their organization. Beyond costs and scalability, it’s essential to assess how these solutions impact IT management, resources, data security, and employee privacy.
Mobile Device Management (MDM) has become a go-to for many organizations, yet it may introduce more risks than anticipated. In this Tech Talk, Hypori President and CEO Jared Shepard will explore why it’s time to rethink MDM and how virtual mobility offers a more secure, private, and efficient alternative.
This session will address:
- Common MDM challenges:
- The need for full access to employees’ personal devices, often leading to resistance and slow adoption
- The operational burden of managing corporate devices, from deployment to decommissioning
- The security risks of storing data on physical devices, from malware to loss, theft, and breaches.Â
- Advantages of Virtual Mobility:
- Complete separation of personal and work environments, ensuring 100% user privacy
- Eliminating the need for corporate devices, reducing IT overhead and simplifying management
- Protection from data harvesting apps on physical devices and man-in-the-middle attacks, ensuring corporate data stays secure
Join us for a fresh perspective on mobility strategies that prioritize security, efficiency, and privacy.

Mobile App Ecosystems: A Silent Security & Privacy Threat
Mobile apps have become indispensable tools, but the interconnectedness of these apps, often unseen by users, can create significant security risks. While individual mobile apps may seem innocuous, their combined functionality, particularly when coordinated across multiple apps on a device, can pose serious threats.
This presentation will delve into the concept of app ecosystems, where seemingly benign apps can interact in ways that enable nefarious activities. We’ll examine real-world examples that demonstrate how these coordinated actions can lead to data exfiltration, privacy breaches, and other malicious activities, and we’ll offer strategies for individuals and organizations to protect themselves from these threats.
