Endpoint Central

The state of Unified Endpoint Management in 2018: A general overview.Speaker- Jack Madden

Are mobile devices secure and enterprise ready? Yes.

iOS has had great MDM capabilities for years.
Android enterprise is spreading, making Android MDM much more consistent.
We can now deal with both personal and enterprise-owned mobile devices, including kiosks and embedded devices.
App strategies are coming along, too.

There are still some long-tail issues of EMM to work on, though.

We’re just getting to the point where enterprises will have to switch over from legacy Android MDM to Android enterprise.
The BYOD capabilities in iOS need to be refreshed.
There are still competing proprietary container formats, and ISVs often don’t play well with containers.

It’s time to integrate identity management and endpoint management. With the spread of cloud apps and SaaS, federation and identity-as-a-service are becoming crucial strategies. Endpoint management and EMM have a key role to play:

Endpoint management tools can distribute certificates, allowing for an easy single sign-on experience.
Endpoint management tools can enforce policies and attest devices.
Conditional access brings together identity management and endpoint management to ensure that access decisions take into account as much information as possible.

Management for Windows, macOS, and Chrome OS is changing rapidly, too.

Windows 10 brings many Modern Management concepts, including: MDM; out of box provisioning experience with AutoPilot; rapid updates with Windows as a Service; and more.
But the transition isn’t going to be easy—how do enterprises deal with all their Win32 apps?
Mac and Chromebook management is changing, too. macOS is becoming more locked down, and Chrome has new management APIs.

Now we have more new “endpoint” issues to worry about. Which ones will be easy and which ones will be hard?

IoT means more devices to manage. Just who’s going to be responsible?
Wearables: For now, they’re not too bad, and existing MDM features should have us covered.
Voice and digital assistants: Could these be the next BYOD-style headache? How do you secure them, authenticate users, and integrate them into your apps?

The future vision for unified endpoint management and end user computing is the digital “workspace.”
