About Endpoint Management

Endpoint management ensures that all devices (endpoints) such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets are monitored, updated, and secured to keep your organization running smoothly.

With solutions like Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr), you can automate the management and security of devices. Intune enables cloud-based management of mobile devices and apps, ensuring data protection even on personal devices. Configuration Manager, on the other hand, provides comprehensive on-premises management, allowing granular control over the deployment and maintenance of your organization's IT infrastructure.
