Evergreen Endpoint Management: From Vulnerability to Strength  

In March 2020, IT teams worldwide were tasked with enforcing a new take on employee-friendly BYOD policies. We named this trend BYOO (become your own office) as companies instructed millions of employees to work from home. Overnight, security perimeters were pushed far to the edge, devices and applications proliferated, and cyber villains saw a vast opportunity.

Even before COVID-19, securing and managing multiple devices per employee was a challenge for internal resources. Now, myriad devices such as desktops, laptops, tablets, and phones are accessing an astonishing variety of applications. With little congruity in terms of application version management, differing patching hygiene levels on the part of application vendors, and often a lack of visibility into compromised endpoints, maintaining device resiliency is a complex task. It is even harder to make endpoint management seamless while providing an actual (not false) sense of security. 

Luckily, Microland was better prepared and built for this. For decades, we have been stitching together disparate systems and managing them to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable digital availability. When it comes to Unified Endpoint Management, our capability spans across products and technologies. Our teams are adept at single platform endpoint management (Microsoft Intune, Citrix Endpoint Management or VMware WorkspaceONE) and mobile device management tools (XenMobile, MobileIron, Microsoft EMS, Good, AirWatch) as well as being deeply schooled in all manner of operating systems and gateways (Android, MAC, Chrome, Windows, devices running IoT-specific OS, proprietary or non-proprietary IoT gateways)

As organizations toggle between BYOO and bringing employees back together in offices or hybrid setups, endpoint protection is critical for complaince and privacy regulations and eliminating security risks.
