Android Enterprise arrives in Mexico, so you can separate your personal and work life

Security is its second pillar, since it allows an IT team to monitor and monitor devices when they are being used from the work profile, in order to protect the device and the company.

To achieve this goal, Android makes use of innovations such as machine learning, cloud security, and even Artificial Intelligence to detect viruses or alert when a user could be the victim of a possible phishing attack.

In its incorporation in Mexico, Google announced an alliance with Samsung so that the devices of this South Korean company have a second layer of security based on the Knox platform, which promises to provide military-grade protection from hardware and software.

Javier Lizárraga, VP of Networks at Samsung Mexico, highlights that a solution of these characteristics is relevant in a context where hybrid work has become normal, since it allows the protection of a company’s information from end to end.

The specialist commented that this program also delivers updates to business equipment for at least four years (the period can be extended in the case of high-end devices whose duration is longer) to keep them protected in all branches.

According to Fernando Pansan, Android Enterprise business development manager for Latin America, the main areas to focus on are the sales force and fleets, since in addition to protecting them, it also allows you to see where they are, with the aim of contacting and finding them if required.

It also allows you to improve the operation of warehouses, manage inventories in real time, connect with devices that accompany teams around the world, among other options, all integrated in the same space.

How to separate personal digital life from private?

With this solution, companies provide a device to their employees, who only have to press a button to switch between work and personal applications.

It is worth mentioning that the device does not share information between both profiles, so bosses will not have access to employees’ messages or personal information, something that is also relevant to their right to disconnect.

According to data from the OCC World Labor Thermometer, for 65% of employers it is difficult for them to respect this digital disconnection in some positions, since responsibilities tend to exceed the working day, something that can lead to work burnout.

In Mexico, this issue is common, according to the Mental Health of Workers Barometer, carried out by Affor Health, which revealed that at least 49% of the Mexican workforce shows signs of stress, 37% have problems falling asleep, and about 33% have some type of depression, regardless of whether it is long-term or episodic.
