What it is
UEM platforms combine traditional device management with security controls to enforce policies, manage configurations, deploy updates, and maintain visibility across diverse operating systems and device types.
Why it matters
Endpoints are often the first entry point for attackers. Poorly managed or outdated devices increase the risk of credential theft, malware infections, and lateral movement inside a network - especially in hybrid and remote work environments.
How to reduce risk
- Maintain a complete and up-to-date endpoint inventory
- Enforce patching, encryption, and access policies
- Monitor endpoint exposure alongside external-facing assets
- Pair UEM with continuous external attack surface monitoring to detect exposed services, misconfigurations, or weak security postures tied to endpoints
