Study Notes

Email Configuration Options

Mobile devices allow receiving and composing emails.
Commercial Provider Email Configuration: Most providers offer autodiscover for connection settings. Autodiscover uses DNS records to configure accounts. Enter the provider, email address, and credentials.
Corporate and ISP Email Configuration: Institutions often use Microsoft Exchange. Autodiscover is common; for manual configuration, enter email address/username, host address (from Exchange admin), password, and TLS selection. Specify the domain, often left blank. If a single "Domain\Username" field exists, prefix the email address with a backslash. Connecting to ISP or corporate hosts without autodiscover requires manual server configuration.
- Incoming mail server: IMAP (multiple device access) or POP3 (device download). Exchange uses Exchange ActiveSync (EAS), not IMAP or POP3.
- Outgoing mail server: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
- Transport Layer Security (TLS): Encrypts account data, essential for public connections (e.g., Wi-Fi hotspots). TLS availability depends on the provider. TLS can be enabled/disabled.
- Ports: Defaults are usually fine, but use custom ports if provided by your mail provider for incoming (IMAP, POP3) and outgoing (SMTP).

Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)

Enterprise mobility management (EMM) is software applying security policies to mobile devices and apps in enterprises.
Visibility: Identifying and managing all devices on a network is a key challenge.
Deployment Models: Companies use different models like Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) allowing employees to use personal devices for corporate use.
EMM Functions:
- Mobile Device Management (MDM): Sets policies for device authentication, feature use (camera, microphone), and connectivity. Enables device resets and remote wipes.
- Mobile Application Management (MAM): Policies for apps accessing corporate data. Prevents data transfer to personal apps, creating an enterprise-managed workspace.
EMM Solution Providers: VMware Workspace ONE, Microsoft Endpoint Manager/Intune, Symantec/Broadcom, and Citrix Endpoint Management.
Enterprise Workspace Mode: When a device is enrolled in MAM software, it can run only authorized corporate apps. Corporate apps (email, calendar, contacts) store settings and data separately from personal apps.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Messages and attachments may be subject to DLP controls to prevent unauthorized sensitive data forwarding.
Endpoint Management Software (e.g., Intune): Software approving or prohibiting corporate apps.
Private App Distribution: Corporate app distribution is possible through Apple Business Manager (Apple), or Managed Google Play (Google). These allow MAM suites to push apps.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Smartphones and tablets often use single-user access controls like passwords, PINs, or swipe patterns.
Biometric authentication (fingerprints, facial, voice) is increasingly common.
Enterprise-managed devices may require re-authentication for the corporate workspace.
Stronger authentication, like 2FA, is often needed. 2FA demands two distinct credentials.
- This could include a fingerprint combined with a PIN.
- Alternatively, using an authenticator app, a trusted email account, or registered phone number.
If accessing from a new device, or when 2FA is needed, initial authentication (fingerprint) prompts a notification (email, text, or phone call).
The notification includes a one-time password (OTP) for confirming login.
