On-device security—best practices for using
OpenManage Mobile
To better secure the mobile phones used with OMM:
● Use OMM with a password. Recommended passwords must have at least 12 characters in length and use a combination of
uppercase, lowercase, number, and special characters.
● Secure the device by using a password, pattern, or biometric lock. Locks are required when VPN information is cached.
Enable the lock when the screen is off, or the device is inactive for more than 10 minutes.
● Enable internal-storage encryption on your mobile device. Encryption is enabled by default in Android 5, and iOS 8 or later.
● Download OMM and other applications only from trusted sources such as the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. This
includes applications that are started by OMM, including web browsers, VNC clients, and email clients. Some trusted apps
are typically included with the device.
● Consider using an anti-malware app on the device.

Sync Security (PowerEdge 14th Gen servers and MX Chassis) technical white paper available at www.dell.com/
