Remote device management has become the greatest support to an organization when the administrator wants to manage the devices which are spread across different locations. When it comes to the Support or Helpdesk agents checking the device remote screen, sometimes it will become a matter of data security of the user. The user might be opening a confidential email or document which the remote Support/Helpdesk agent can see it which can breach the data security. In such scenarios, SureMDM offers an option to the end-user to accept or deny the remote requests which makes sure that no data is seen by the agent until the user clears it.
