Management of mobile device protection through Kaspersky Security Center is carried out by using the Mobile Device Management feature, which requires a dedicated license. If you are intending to manage mobile devices owned by employees in your organization, enable and configure Mobile Device Management.

Mobile Device Management enables you to manage Android devices of the employees. The protection is provided by the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android mobile app installed on the devices. This mobile app ensures protection of mobile devices against web threats, viruses and other programs that pose threats. For centralized management through Kaspersky Security Center 13.1 Web Console, you must install the following web management plug-ins on the device where Kaspersky Security Center 13.1 Web Console is installed:

• Kaspersky Security for Mobile Plug-in
• Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android Plug-in

For information about protection deployment and management of mobile devices, see Kaspersky Security for Mobile Help.
