Proper device management could have prevented the whole FBI-Apple fight

The FBI shouldn’t have to be asking Apple for access to the phone…if the terrorist’s employer, The Government of San Bernadino, had properly set up the phone, they should’ve been able to clear the password in seconds. Every iPhone and Android phone can be managed remotely, thereby giving employers a built in back door that SHOULD HAVE been available to the FBI in this case. Read below… ~jg

A question regarding this phone in particular and any device owned by or accessing data belonging to every government, business, or educational entity:

How is it that Syed Rizwan Farook’s iPhone, which was issued to him by San Bernardino County, and which was being used for county government purposes, wasn’t secured, managed, and maintained using some type of Mobile Device Management (MDM) service?

Why wasn’t San Bernardino County in control of the device?

Because if they were, they would have been able to clear the device’s passcode in a matter of seconds. http://www.pcworld.com/article/3035747/security/proper-device-management-could-have-prevented-the-whole-fbi-apple-fight.html#tk.rss_all Even without a comprehensive policy, just enrolling the device in an MDM system would have been enough.
