GBS Led MDM Solution Transformed Data Security
for a Leading UAE Real Estate Firm
Securing Data in an Evolving Landscape
In today’s super-connected world, data breaches and unauthorized access can cost companies millions of dollars and damage their reputation. Real estate companies in the UAE, in particular, work with sensitive information such as property records and client data, making them prime targets for cyberattacks. One such leading real estate firm in Dubai faced a serious challenge with data leakage. This incident was primarily caused by sales teams accessing official emails and sensitive information through their personal devices.
GBS Led Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution was the perfect solution, drastically improving device control and data protection while adhering to strict UAE cybersecurity regulations. This blog explores how GBS helped the real estate firm mitigate risks, and why your company might benefit from adopting a similar solution.
The Challenge of Data Protection and Device Control
Data leakage, especially through employee devices such as mobile phones, laptops, and tablets, poses significant risks. In the case of this prominent real estate firm, the lack of proper control over mobile devices. This resulted in frequent incidents of unauthorized access and accidental data leaks. Employees often used their personal devices to access work emails and confidential client information, which made it difficult to enforce uniform security protocols.

Ensure compliance with stringent security protocols.
