Hi Matthew-
         I believe you're looking for "Mobile Device Management" (MDM) software - Gartner has a good recent write up on 
this area ID Number: G00211101 (if your library has access).  Leaders are Sybase, Good Technology, AirWatch and 
MobileIron.  Capabilities vary whether they control ActiveSync policies or you have to download an app that contains 
add data/policies within a standalone container.  Technical control over Android devices will vary significantly, but 
that's more of a platform, than an MDM issue.

Cheers,

-Mikhael

Subject: [SECURITY] Mobile Device Security programs

Good Morning Everyone,

                With the proliferation of mobile devices across our campus I need to investigate security programs to 
gain control over this environment.  What I am looking for are applications that can be installed on university owned 
devices either Ipad, Tablet, Android, Iphone, blackberry, Symbian OS, Windows Mobile, so very vendor non specific.  The 
application needs to be easy to manage and non-resource intensive.  I would like the ability to remote wipe as well as 
monitor for any devices that have been rooted or jail broken.  I have found one application that does a lot of this  
"Bullguard Mobile Security"  does anyone have experience with this application or can anyone recommend a better one?

Sincerely,
