Subject: Factorial IT - Installation for enhanced security of our computers
Hello everyone,
We are pleased to announce our recent collaboration with Factorial IT, a leader in computer management. This initiative aims to strengthen the security of our data and optimize the use of our professional computers.
What is an MDM?
An MDM (Mobile Device Management) is a solution for efficiently managing and securing mobile devices within [Company]. It is an essential tool to ensure the security of our information while simplifying the daily management of our computers.
Benefits of MDM
- Enhanced security: Factorial IT protects our sensitive data through advanced security configurations and policies.
- Simplified management: Factorial IT allows remote management of applications and configurations on your computers, ensuring organizational consistency and compliance.
- Improved support: In case of loss or theft of a device, Factorial IT allows us to act quickly to secure the affected data.
What MDM doesn't do
It's important to emphasize that Factorial IT is not an employee surveillance tool. Its sole purpose is to secure company data and facilitate device management, without compromising anyone's privacy.
Factorial IT Deployment:
We will start deploying Factorial IT on all professional computers today. You will soon receive an email containing detailed installation instructions from factorial-factorial-support@getprimo.com.
This installation is extremely quick (less than 2 minutes) and will have no impact on your daily work.
Once installed, Factorial IT will apply some essential configurations to your devices, such as:
- Password policy and screen lock settings.
- Hard drive encryption and recovery key storage.
- Automatic security updates to ensure continuous protection.
We understand the importance of maintaining a secure and efficient work environment, and we are confident that this collaboration with Factorial IT will be beneficial for all.
If you have any questions or encounter difficulties during installation, you can contact us or write to the Factorial IT team via factorial-factorial-support@getprimo.com.
Thank you for your collaboration and commitment to enhanced IT security at [Company].
