If you haven’t heard the latest news in the technology world…
The shooting in San Bernadino, California has caused friction between one of the world’s leaders in technology, Apple, and the agents in the FBI. Essentially, Syed Farook was the owner of a locked iPhone and the federal agents are attempting to gain access to this particular phone.
Access to the phone is unable to occur due to the iPhone’s protecting passcode features. Admittance to the iPhone is highly desirable since the shooting incident by Farook and his wife on December 2nd which resulted in wounding dozens and ending the lives of 14 people.
By simply installing mobile device management software, companies can avoid legal circumstances that may present themselves in the future.
It has been brought to light that IF Farook’s employer, San Bernardino County, had installed mobile device management software on the phone, the IT department “could unlock” the specific iPhone. This fact was confirmed by an executive at MobileIron.
