With the introduction of new devices in the market, there was a requirement to secure them. Every device has its own internal security system, but when it comes to the security of enterprise devices and with that the important enterprise related data within those devices, there was the requirement of additional layer of security.

There are many MDM tools in the market and with that the requirement of the jobs in this field is too in demand. In this article we will explore basic networking as well as basic MDM Interview questions.
