Abstract
A method of establishing security monitoring functionality on a device on retail display includes obtaining, by a processor of a server computer, a mobile device management (MDM) startup message from the device, determining, by the processor, whether the device is enrolled for MDM supervision, and if the device is enrolled for the MDM supervision, downloading, by the processor to the device, configuration data to support the MDM supervision and implementation of the security monitoring functionality.
Claims18
A method of establishing security monitoring functionality on a device on retail display, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a processor of a server computer, a mobile device management (MDM) startup message from the device;
- determining, by the processor, whether the device is enrolled for MDM supervision;
- and
- when the device is enrolled for the MDM supervision, downloading, by the processor to the device, configuration data to support the MDM supervision and implementation of the security monitoring functionality;
- wherein the configuration data comprises instructions of a non-persistent security monitoring application on the device, the non-persistent securing monitoring application being configured to monitor the device for a security trigger event, and
- wherein persistence of the security monitoring functionality is established despite the non-persistent security monitoring application via operation of the device in a supervised mode in accordance with the MDM supervision.
A method of establishing security monitoring functionality on a device on retail display, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a processor of a server computer, a mobile device management (MDM) startup message from the device, the MDM startup message being sent by the device as a result of a boot sequence implemented by the device;
- determining, by the processor, whether the device is enrolled for MDM supervision;
- and
- when the device is enrolled for the MDM supervision, downloading, by the processor to the device, configuration data to support the MDM supervision and implementation of the security monitoring functionality;
- wherein the configuration data comprises instructions of a non-persistent security monitoring application on the device, the non-persistent securing monitoring application being configured to monitor the device for a security trigger event, and
- wherein persistence of the security monitoring functionality is established despite the non-persistent security monitoring application via operation of the device in a supervised mode in accordance with the MDM supervision.
A system for establishing security monitoring functionality for a device on retail display, the system comprising:
- a memory on which security provisioning instructions and mobile device management (MDM) instructions are stored;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the MDM instructions to implement a MDM service for the device;
- wherein the processor is configured via execution of the security provisioning instructions to—obtain a mobile device management (MDM) startup message from the device;
- determine whether the device is enrolled for MDM supervision;
- and
- when the device is enrolled for the MDM supervision, download configuration data to support the MDM supervision and implementation of the security monitoring functionality,
- wherein the configuration data comprises instructions of a non-persistent security monitoring application on the device, the non-persistent securing monitoring application being configured to monitor the device for a security trigger event, and
- wherein persistence of the security monitoring functionality is established despite the non-persistent security monitoring application via operation of the device in a supervised mode in accordance with the MDM supervision.
