WSO2 EMM enables you to enroll mobile devices via the BYOD or COPE device enrollment scenario. Data containerization allows you to have a separation between data. Therefore, if you are enrolling your device via the BYOD scenario you are able to have a clear separation between your personal data and the enterprise data. To understand the underlying concept clearly, take a look at the subesections given below:
Scenario
MobX uses WSO2 EMM to manage and monitor the employees mobile devices and applications. Kim joins as the new marketing Manager and needs to enroll her personal mobile device with WSO2 EMM, but she is concerned because she doesn't want to expose the personal data on the device to the Organization. On the other hand, MobX is concerned about not letting the other applications installed in Kim's device to access the confidential enterprise data. For example Kim has installed an application for enterprise docs on her device. This application has access to all the enterprise docs and the personal docs as they are all stored in the same location. Therefore, it is important to clearly separate the enterprise and personal data in a BYOD device enrollment scenario. Follow the steps given below to enable data containerization on your device.
Enabling data containerization
You need to have an Android device that supports the Lollipop OS version or upwards.
Why?
In WSO2 EMM Data containerization is implemented using the Managed Profile features. This is available only on the devices that have the Lollipop OS version or upwards.
