3 Ways to Refresh Your Legacy Tools
Over the past year, organizations have transformed their endpoint environments, but continue to...
Amid all the changes the global pandemic has brought to businesses, the drive to modernize networks might be the most significant. Providing anywhere-work workforces with endpoint security for their devices without adding more complexity to tech stacks is a challenging problem to solve. In addition, every endpoint with access to the corporate network is another potential risk for attack - making business-critical mobile operations more important than ever.
It’s time to modernize endpoint management.
Getting endpoint security right for virtual workforces needs to include self-correcting, native endpoint security integration and improved experiences that give employees the freedom to use their own devices. A single, unified platform to manage company-owned and BYOD devices is now essential for any endpoint strategy and must include:
- Self-service: endpoint management platforms need to fast-track self-service to gain greater adoption. AI is becoming more commonplace in endpoint management platforms to enable automatic remediation of endpoint issues without human involvement.
- Employee freedom: modern endpoint management platforms must give employees the freedom to use their own devices while securing them as effectively as a corporate-issued one.
- Automated support: modern endpoint management platforms need to design in more automated support to streamline configuring and deploying third-party devices.
- Data analysis: modern endpoint management platforms need to collect and analyze end-user experience data that helps understand endpoints’ operational health, security, and performance. The goal is to provide the most secure endpoint possible with little to no friction or inconveniences encountered by the user.
As a prospective buyer, it’s important to pay attention to how a platform approaches policy management. Consider the types of policies that your market and regulatory bodies require. You should also focus on how vendors approach their pricing and licensing structures. A growing number of UEM vendors are moving to user-based pricing rather than device-based pricing. This shift tends to save customers’ money and better fits modern enterprise environments where users work on more than one device.
Things are better when they work together.
