Challenge

As the number of mobile devices accessing corporate email grew, Credit Agricole Bank Polska needed a more comprehensive approach to managing and securing its mobile environment. The bank's existing in-house solutions provided limited visibility and control over a growing fleet of approximately 2,700 smartphones and tablets, making it increasingly difficult to ensure consistent security standards and regulatory compliance. To address these challenges, the bank sought a centralized MDM solution that would protect corporate data, support compliance with banking sector regulations, and simplify device fleet management.

"With the growing number of mobile devices accessing corporate email, we needed a secure, centralised management solution that would also support regulatory compliance. That is why we chose Essentials MDM."

Solution

Credit Agricole Bank Polska implemented Essentials MDM to centralise the management of its mobile devices. The platform enables the bank to monitor threats, manage access to corporate email, and enforce security policies from a single system.

It also supports data backup and encryption, helping protect sensitive business information while simplifying day-to-day device administration. In the event of device loss or theft, access can be blocked immediately and corporate data remotely erased to reduce the risk of unauthorised access.

Key capabilities

Centralised management of mobile devices

Monitoring and analysis of security alerts

Remote lock and wipe of lost or stolen devices

Data backup and encryption

Application control and threat detection

Device inventory and usage tracking

Results

Essentials MDM gave Credit Agricole Bank Polska greater visibility and control over its mobile environment. Administrators can continuously monitor policy compliance, manage applications, review device history, and quickly respond to security incidents. The solution also enables the bank to link each device to a specific user or a group, enforce security policies, and remotely secure lost or stolen devices when necessary.
