# Android Edge: Security Management

## Security Settings in Springdel allow administrators to define automated actions for lost or unmanaged devices, helping protect enterprise data and reduce security risks. By configuring these settings, you can ensure that sensitive information remains secure even when devices are offline, lost, or no longer under management.

---

### **Key Benefits**

- **Device Protection** – Automatically wipe lost or unmanaged devices to prevent unauthorized access.
- **Data Security** – Protect sensitive data from being accessed on inactive or unmonitored devices.
- **Automation** **Security** – Configure offline wipe triggers based on a defined period of device inactivity.

---

### **Step 1 - Access the Security Menu**

1. **Log in** to your Springdel console.
2. Navigate to the **Profiles** section from the left-hand menu.
3. Click the **“Create New Profile +”** button and select **Android** **Edge** as the device type.
4. In the profile sidebar, click **Security** and toggle the **Security Management Enabled** switch to **On**.

---

### **Step 2 - Configure Security Features**

1. Toggle **Wipe Lost Device** to **ON**.
2. Enter the number of continuous offline days in the input field. 
     - Example: Enter **30** to automatically wipe any device that remains offline for **30 days**.
3. Click **Save** to apply your changes.

---

### **Step 3 - Associate the Profile**

1. Once your profile is configured with the desired security features, associate the profile with the target **fleet**.
2. Once associated, the security features will be deployed on all devices in that fleet according to the profile settings.

### **Best Practices & Tips**

- **Set a Safe Threshold**: Use a conservative period (e.g., 30 days) to avoid accidental wipes during repairs or extended travel.
- **Communicate Policies to Users**: Inform device users about the wipe policy to prevent unexpected resets.
- **Monitor Device Status Regularly**: Keep track of devices approaching the offline limit to take preventive action.
- **Combine with Other Features**: Use in conjunction with Geofencing or Location History to verify device status before initiating a wipe.
