Apple’sMDM frameworkis the backbone of enterprise device management. It allows MDM solutions to send configuration profiles, security commands, and restrictions to managed devices securely via the Apple Push Notification service (APNs).

Other technologies like federated authentication or Platform SSO assist with identity but do not perform configuration tasks. Therefore, the MDM framework is the required technology that makes centralized configuration and command execution possible for iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices.
