Centering Security Around Humans – The case of MDM and MAM solution
Paolo Maggioni

In this 30-minute talk, I will walk you through the seas of Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile Application Management (MAM). Specifically, I will explore how IT Security Departments can overcome resistance and foster acceptance of MDM policies among faculty, staff, and students. Drawing on the research done at SURF for my master's thesis, I will explain how combining security requirements and users' experiences in MDM policies can significantly boost their acceptance and increase security. I will share practical recommendations for crafting effective MDM policies tailored to the unique environment of educational institutions, ultimately leading to higher MDM adoption rates.
