Forget about security versus productivity! The tug-of-war between management and security solutions to coexist in a single endpoint is the next big thing. But let’s take a step back to understand the quintessential question:
Why should IT management and IT security solutions blend?
If only this could be answered in a word or two!
Let’s understand the why (the need), the how (the flow), and the where (the ultimate destination) concerning the unified endpoint management and security approach.
A short note on IT management and IT security
IT management solutions address administering and monitoring your organization’s technological components and their status. IT security solutions equip your organization to be better prepared against wide-ranging cyberattacks.
The WHY?
Where to begin?
A threat has the potential to uproot a business from within. Having multiple security solutions from multiple vendors could result in alert fatigue, as overlapping and an excessive number of alerts are often generated.
While each could be a threat that must be taken seriously, IT technicians can be easily overwhelmed. This volume of notifications can numb the professionals’ security senses by inundating them with false positives.
From dissecting a threat for behavioral analysis to addressing alert/alarm fatigues, rallying management and security under one roof diffuses the discrepancies originating from the integration.
Causing more problems than it solves?
Assembling different solutions has its hiccups. When fusing management and security solutions individually, the final jigsaw for integrating them as one comprehensive solution can be a paradox.
If only there was a way to address this formidable fusion!
Think of it as an all-you-can-get convenience supermarket that covers a wide array of products. Equipping yourself with management tools (patch management, OS and software deployment, inventory) and security gadgets (vulnerability management, device and application control, data protection) ensures your organization is proactive in its cybersecurity strategy.
ManageEngine Endpoint Centrals’ Security edition, a comprehensive UEM solution, has adopted a single-agent|single-dashboard|single-license approach, that oversees your endpoint security, all the while seamlessly integrating with the management solution.
The HOW?
Addressing integration issues with software that must efficiently interact with other solutions is difficult and time-consuming. Efforts to resolve compatibility discrepancies can take up a chunk of your time which could be better spent on what really matters: growing your business.
Stubbing security silos
Fifty is the average number of tools enterprises use to address their security needs. But this number could be reduced to just one comprehensive solution. This solution manages, protects, and streamlines your IT infrastructure with data security, attack surface management, ransomware protection, automated patching, asset intelligence, remote troubleshooting, and more–all from a single console.
The WHERE?
Security, the nucleus of your IT infrastructure, can now team up with the management solution. ManageEngine Endpoint Centrals’ Security edition, a comprehensive UEM solution, has adopted a single-agent|single-dashboard|single-license approach, that oversees your endpoint security, all the while seamlessly integrating with the management solution. This comprehensive resource provides heterogeneous OS support; end-to-end life cycle management of devices, robust remote support, and endpoint security capabilities all under one roof.
You can accommodate the Endpoint Central Security edition without making any changes to your existing infrastructure. The ever-expanding security landscape hints there are always surprise releases along the way, with both the potential and the magnitude of the issues tackling capability only getting better.
With the single agent, you can monitor and protect possible attack surfaces for your endpoints that handle data. This could range from protecting your critical enterprise data from various mediums to implementing best practices that address the age-old conundrum of productivity versus security.
The END!
With our off-the-shelf products bundled in a single edition, you can avoid issues related to multiple silos. This new edition seamlessly integrates with our endpoint management solution to form a comprehensive management and security solution all under one roof.
