MDM restrictions are security measures implemented through MDM software, such as NinjaOne MDM, to control and limit device functionality. These restrictions safeguard sensitive data, ensure regulatory compliance, and boost productivity by managing app installations, enforcing password policies, and controlling network access.
By tailoring device settings and capabilities, organizations can balance security and user experience, empowering them to effectively manage their device fleet.
