Today's challenge

The way businesses operate has been redefined by the rapid rise in the number and diversity of endpoints used in enterprises. This also leads to various forms of cyberattacks and insider threats. With devices varying in form and function, more and more enterprises these days are looking for a unified endpoint management (UEM) model that will provide a single software platform for managing and securing a wide range of enterprise devices, including servers, desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices.

The solution

Endpoint Central is a UEM solution that helps manage and secure servers, desktops, and mobile devices all from a single console. It automates the complete endpoint management life cycle from start to finish to help businesses cut their IT infrastructure costs, achieve operational efficiency, improve productivity, combat network vulnerabilities and insider threats, prevent data leakage and secures enterprise browsers.

Use Endpoint Central to

• Automate regular endpoint management activities.
• Standardize OS and application configurations across your network.
• Secure endpoints from a wide range of threats.
• Troubleshoot day-to-day problems.
• Audit your IT assets.

Patch Management

• Automate patching for over 1000 Windows, Mac, Linux, and third-party apps.
• Proactively detect and deploy missing patches.
• Test and approve patches before deployment to mitigate security risks.
• Deploy critical zero-day patches.
• Disable auto-updates and decline patches as needed.
• Obtain reports on system health status as well as system vulnerability.

Vulnerability Management

• Improve your security posture with integrated threat and vulnerability management by instantly detecting and remediating vulnerabilities.
• Enhance security by deploying security policies and mitigating system misconfigurations.
• Leverage ManageEngine's exclusive partnership with the Centre for Internet Security (CIS) to ensure compliance with CIS benchmarks.
• Swiftly spot zero-day vulnerabilities and deploy mitigation scripts as workarounds before the patches arrive.
• Audit and eliminate high-risk software such as end of life software, remote desktop sharing software, and peer to peer software to stay safe from data breaches.
• Audit active ports to discover anomalies as a part of vulnerability management.

Asset Management

• Track all hardware and software in your network live.
• Ensure software license compliance.
• Block executables and uninstall prohibited software.
• Analyze software usage statistics and reduce costs associated with unused software using software metering.
• Receive notifications for specific events such as detection of new software, non-compliance due to under-licensing, and prohibited software.
• Gain over 20 pre-defined reports for hardware, software, inventory, and license compliance.

Mobile Application Management

• Create your own enterprise app repository containing only IT-approved in-house and commercial apps.
• Silently install, update, and remove corporate apps from devices while also managing app licenses and preconfiguring app permissions.
• Ensure devices run only trusted corporate apps, blacklist malicious/vulnerable apps, and prevent users from uninstalling corporate apps.

System tools

• Monitor and analyze remotely managed systems by viewing the task details and processes that are running on them.
• Remotely boot up a machine instantly using Wake-on-LAN, or schedule boot-ups.
• Publish announcements company-wide or just to technicians.
• Schedule disk defragmentation, check disks, and disk cleanup for local or remote workstations.

Configurations

• Standardize desktop, computer, application, and security settings with baseline configurations for your entire organization.
• Use over 40 configurations for users and computers, or create templates for frequently used configurations.
• Choose from over 180 scripts in the script repository.
• Restrict and control the usage of USB devices like printers, CD drives, portable devices, bluetooth devices, modems, and other peripherals in the network, both at the user and computer level.
• Go green with effective power management by applying power schemes, shutting down inactive computers, and viewing system uptime reports.
• Configure browser, firewall, and security policies; achieve access control for files, folders, and the registry using permissions management.
• Set alerts for password expiration and low system drive space.

Peripheral Device Control

• Effectively regulate and restrict the entry of more than 15 types of peripheral devices from a centralized console along with automatic detection of active ports.
• Role-based file access and transfer control with file transfer limit to secure your enterprise-critical data.
• Grant temporary access for peripheral devices to specific endpoints for a defined time frame.
• Be proactive by mirroring the data in a secure location when USB devices access your critical enterprise data, thus preventing data loss.
• Adhere to device compliance standards by preventing data loss through peripheral devices and get insights from comprehensive device audit reports.

Reports

• Utilize over 200 out-of-the-box Active Directory reports on users, computers, groups, OUs, and domains.
• Lower utility bills with effective power management, and view system uptime reports.
• Obtain up-to-date user logon details with user logon reports.
• View reports on patches, configurations, and events for auditing.

Endpoint Privilege Management

• Remove unnecessary admin rights and run business-critical applications with restricted privileges to prevent attacks based on privilege elevation or credential compromise.
• Maintain the least privilege model without compromising productivity by enabling application-specific privilege elevation.
• Handle interim user needs by enabling privileged temporary access to applications that are automatically revoked after a set period.

Ransomware Protection

• Reactive protection for heightened endpoint security by gatekeeping ransomware.
• Multi-patented and machine learning-assisted behavior analysis instantly detects any ransomware attempting to intrude on your network.
• Provides detailed analysis of all intrusion attempts.
• Offers seamless rollback to ensure your data is recovered with one click.
