Description
Incident response functions are intended to monitor, detect, and alarm on defined events occurring on the system or on the network. A large part of their functionality is accurate and timely notification of events. Notifications can be made more efficient by the creation of notification groups containing members who would be responding to a particular alarm or event. Types of actions the AirWatch MDM Server must be able to perform after a security alert include: log the alert, send email to a system administrator, wipe the managed mobile device, lock the mobile device account on the AirWatch MDM Server, disable the security container, wipe the security container, and delete any unapproved application. Security alerts include any alert from the MDIS or MAM component of the AirWatch MDM Server.
