Unified endpoint management is an approach to managing and securing all types of endpoints including desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices, from a single console. Especially as remote work becomes more commonplace, managing the growing number of endpoints in an organization is a vital business function. UEM solutions typically include capabilities such as device inventory, configuration management, software distribution, patch management, security and compliance management, reporting, and analytics.

While UEM and MDM share some similarities, they differ in scope. MDM is primarily focused on managing and securing mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, and the applications and data on those devices. MAM on the other hand, is concerned with managing and securing the applications and data on mobile devices, regardless of whether they are company-owned or employee-owned. UEM goes beyond MDM and MAM by encompassing all types of endpoints and providing a unified approach to managing and securing them.

There are several benefits to implementing a UEM strategy in an organization, including:

• Increased security: Enforcement of security policies and compliance requirements across all endpoints, reducing the risk of data breaches and cyber-attacks.
• Improved efficiency: Streamlined endpoint management tasks, reducing the time and resources required to manage and support devices.
• Enhanced user experience: Employees can access corporate data and applications from any device, anywhere, at any time, improving productivity and collaboration.
• Simplified compliance: Provides centralized visibility into endpoint compliance, making it easier for organizations to remain in regulatory compliance.

A comprehensive UEM solution set can help your organization manage a wide range of devices, including:

• Desktops and laptops running Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Smartphones and tablets running iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile.
• IoT devices such as point-of-sale terminals, kiosks, and digital signage.

UEM tools ensure security and compliance for corporate data on employee-owned devices through a range of capabilities, such as:

• Mobile device management: Enforce security policies and compliance requirements on mobile devices, such as password policies, encryption, and remote wipe.
