About Android device operating modes

The device operating mode depends on the owner of mobile device (personal or corporate) and corporate security requirements. You can choose the operating mode that is most suitable for your company and use several modes at the same time.

The following device operating modes are available for Android devices:

• Personal device
• Device with corporate container
• Corporate device

Personal device

Personal device is the device operating mode for personal Android devices. This operating mode lets you protect and perform basic management of devices.

Device with corporate container

Device with corporate container is the device operating mode for personal Android devices with an Android Work Profile, which provides an isolated corporate environment on a device.

This operating mode lets you manage apps and user accounts in a safe environment on a device without restricting the use of personal data by the user. When a Work Profile is created on the user's mobile device, the following corporate apps are automatically installed in the container (if applicable): Google Play Market, Google Chrome, Downloads, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android, and others. Corporate apps installed in the Work Profile and their notifications are marked with a blue briefcase icon. Apps installed in the work profile appear in the common list of apps.

Corporate device

Corporate device is the device operating mode for company-owned Android devices. This operating mode lets you have full control over the entire device and configure an extended set of security settings and features:

• Restrictions on Android features
• Management of Google Chrome settings
• Silent installation of required apps and removal of blocked apps in App Control
• Kiosk mode
• Management of Exchange ActiveSync
• NDES and SCEP integration
