The European Commission confirmed a breach of a mobile-device management (MDM) platform. There’s an irony worth noting: MDM is a security and management tool, and when the very system used to control an organisation’s devices is compromised, the potential reach is significant.

What it means for you

Management platforms — MDM, RMM, identity providers — are high-value targets precisely because they hold the keys to everything else. A compromise there can cascade across an entire fleet of devices.

Protect these platforms as your crown jewels: strong MFA, tight admin access, careful vendor selection and monitoring for unusual activity. We apply that same rigour to the management tooling we run on behalf of clients.
