Thank you.  I will compile if I hear from others.  The “Fun” aspect that I see that is/can be bad deals with 
terminations.

The person is terminated and turns in their devices but says that they will not provide the pin.  At that point we are 
stuck—

Appreciate the input.

Mark,

There is a lot out there available for mobile device management (MDM).  You can go full on MDM with something like 
AirWatch, SophosMDM  or MS MAM or you can go with something like Lookout or Zimperium which is more of a malware app 
that has some MDM like functionality built in (remote wipe, etc.).

Our user population is not keen on full device management, but I can tell you the purchasing office wants something on 
there for all the university owned assets.  It’s been an uphill struggle.

Subject: [SECURITY] Tool needed for smart devices

With more and more executives and others in the organization possessing smart devices (ipads, iphones, etc) that can 
either connect to and or store university informatio (maybe university supplied)  I am looking for tools that can be 
utilized to access these devices if said person is terminated and has placed a pin or other access control on the 
device.

Thank you
