Does the solution (HMDM) support encryption of data on the device?

Question

I want to know some details on a device's data encryption?

This MDM supports device encryption or not?

Answer 1

In Headwind MDM, device data encryption is turned off. The reason is that in most cases the device encryption is not required, whereas the encryption significantly increases the device enrollment time.

I think it's a good idea to add the encryption option in the UI.

There's a workaround how you can turn on device data encryption. When you generate a QR code for the device enrollment, read it by some QR code reader, remove the attribute:

"android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_SKIP_ENCRYPTION":true

and pack the JSON back into the QR code.

This will turn on the device data encryption.
