-: In this section of the course,
we're going to cover mobile applications.
Now, mobile applications are a type of software
that's used to provide different features
and functionality to a mobile device.
For example, if you have a smartphone
and you want to check your email,
you can use a mobile app like Gmail
or Mail to do that for you.
Most of us have used mobile applications usually called apps
on our smartphone to do all sorts of different things,
even if it's just to place some kind of a game
when we're waiting at the doctor's office.
In this section of the course,
we're going to be diving deep into mobile applications
and looking at a few major features
or functions that these applications rely on.
Our focus in this section is going
to be on domain one mobile devices.
As we go through this section,
we're going to fully cover objective 1.4.
Objective 1.4 states that given a scenario,
you must be able to configure
basic mobile device network connectivity
and application support.
So as we begin this section,
we're going to first take a look at
different mobile device synchronization
and how you can ensure data goes
between your different devices
and remains current and up-to-date.
This is especially important
if you're using multiple devices like a smartphone,
a tablet, a laptop, and a desktop,
and you need all of your information
synchronized across these devices.
Next, we're going to move into some security concepts
for mobile devices,
including mobile device management known as MDM
and mobile application management known as MAM.
Then we'll move into a discussion
of multifactor authentication known as MFA,
which allows us to increase the security of our users
when they log into a given mobile device.
Then we're going to move into the different methods used
to provide the location of a mobile device such
as precise and course location service techniques.
And finally, we're going to move into our coverage
of corporate email configurations
followed by a short demonstration
where you're going to learn how
to configure email on a smartphone or tablet
to access your corporate email
while you're out of the office.
So let's get started with our coverage
of mobile applications in this section of the course.
