As businesses make their way toward becoming truly digitized, mobile technology has become a critical business component. As a result, we are starting to see an increase in the number and intensity of cybersecurity threats targeting mobile devices and endpoints. Unified endpoint management (UEM) has become the preferred management style, providing a higher level of management functionality and more effective security capabilities. Among the most important advances in UEM is the integration of augmented intelligence and cognitive technology. Access this white paper to learn how augmented intelligence and cognitive technology are improving mobile security, and most importantly, see what this technology can do to protect the prosperity of your business.

Word of the Day: unified endpoint management (UEM)

Word of the Day Daily updates on the latest technology terms |March 30, 2017

unified endpoint management (UEM) Unified endpoint management (UEM) is an approach to securing and controlling desktop computers, laptops, smartphones and tablets in a connected, cohesive manner from a single console. Unified endpoint management typically relies on the mobile device management (MDM) application program interfaces (APIs) in desktop and mobile operating systems. Microsoft's inclusion of MDM application program interfaces in Windows 10 made unified endpoint management a possibility on a large scale. Prior to the release of Windows 8.1, there was no way for MDM software to access, secure or control the operating system and its applications.   In Windows 10, the tasks IT can perform through MDM software include: configuring devices' VPN, email and Wi-Fi settings; enforcing passcode and access policies; installing patches and updates; blacklisting and whitelisting applications; and installing and managing Universal Windows Platform (.appx) and Microsoft Installer (.msi) applications. Mobile device management is significantly less robust than traditional Windows management tools, however. Examples of tasks information technology (IT) administrators can't perform through Windows 10 MDM APIs include: deploying and managing legacy executable (.exe) applications; enforcing encryption; deploying Group Policy Objects; and managing printers, file shares and other domain-based resources. Many vendors market UEM as a feature of their broader enterprise mobility management (EMM) software suites and some EMM vendors have made strides to close the gap between MDM and traditional Windows management tools. For example, MobileIron Bridge allows IT administrators to use MDM to deploy scripts that modify the Windows 10 file system and registry and perform other advanced tasks, including deploying legacy.exe applications. Other vendors that support UEM include VMware, Citrix, BlackBerry and Apple. Apple's Mac OS X operating system has included MDM APIs since at least 2012, when AirWatch and MobileIron announced support. Today, all of the major vendors that offer UEM also support OS X. Quote of the Day "UEM allows IT to centrally manage all the workspaces and devices its employees use to get their jobs done." - Gabe Knuth   Trending Terms mobile device management enterprise mobility management Windows 10 VMware AirWatch identity management   Learning Center Sophos branches out into unified endpoint management Sophos now supports Android containers to separate work and business on BYO devices. The company also bolstered its EMM offering to add unified endpoint management. Unified endpoint management tools strive for one-size-fits-all Unified endpoint management tools rose up because mobile devices and PCs are different. Now they strive to bring the two under one management umbrella. Why IT should invest in unified endpoint management tools As the range of enterprise endpoints increases, so does the need for unified endpoint management tools for both mobile and desktop devices. Find out why IT should invest in these tools. Unified Endpoint Management is getting a lot of buzz, but as always the devil is in the details. Managing mobile devices and traditional desktops from the same interface sounds great, but what's it going to take to make the shift? What IT should expect from unified endpoint management Unified endpoint management can help admins manage all the devices and OSes in their networks in one place. Find out some benefits and who should use it. Writing for Business ___________ should be portable across all major mobile platforms. a. A MDM product b.

But ahh, have you first evaluated your organization’s approach to virtual machine (VM) security as you juggle all your clouds? Have you also considered the time and effort you’ll exert doing so? And the ongoing costs associated with selecting, deploying, managing and maintaining security controls in each of your VMs across an entire multi-cloud environment? If you aren’t 110% confident your security initiatives are strong enough to keep data thieves from invading your infrastructure faster than you can say “security breach,” then download and find out exactly how to lockdown your VMs through a combination of vulnerability mitigation and attack detection methods that are specific to multi-cloud environments.
