Multi-platform support
Provides comprehensive support for a variety of remote endpoints, including desktops, smartphones, tablets, servers, point-of-sale devices, thin clients, IoT, wearables, kiosks and other network components. It also supports Windows, Mac, The entire endpoint management lifecycle for Linux, iOS, Android, tvOS and chromeOS.
Secure remote access
When roaming agents access servers over the Internet, using a secure gateway server prevents the endpoint central server from being exposed directly to the Internet by acting as an intermediary server between the endpoint central server and the roaming agent. The concept of BYOD involves employees using their personal devices to access company data on the network, such as from personal laptops, mobile devices, and tablets, while COPE allows extensive personalization of company-owned devices, such as using non-work-related apps Program or custom device configuration. While the benefits of BYOD/COPE often include increased productivity and reduced costs, its adoption in organizations also increases security risks as business-critical data is accessed from personal devices that are prone to vulnerabilities.
Endpoint Central helps manage all company-owned and personal devices from a single console with security features like per-app VPN and global HTTP proxy. While traditional VPNs protect data on the Internet, you can protect data available on enterprise applications by configuring a per-app VPN, which creates a VPN when data on a specified application is accessed. The Global HTTP Proxy feature provides data security by ensuring that Internet connections and all personal and business communications are always redirected through a single proxy.
Powerful data containerization
Zero trust architecture is centered around authentication, with conditional access policies forcing users to perform secure actions when they want to access internal resources. This protects an organization's assets as well as network data while still allowing users to remain productive no matter where they are.
Robust client certificate distribution prevents unauthorized clients from connecting to the server. Each agent has a unique certificate and a corresponding private key signed by the server's trusted root certification authority. The server will connect to the proxy only after successful verification of the certificate and key. In-depth security features,
Such as completely restricting data sharing between managed and unmanaged apps, restricting the use of AirDrop to share data to other devices, restricting cut/copy/paste between managed and unmanaged apps, and restricting users from connecting to any external storage drives, ensuring corporate data is not transferred from managed devices.
Achieve baseline compliance
Configurations are provided to help administrators manage applications, system settings, desktop settings, and security policies that would be beneficial in a baseline system and ensure targeting can be selected at the user or system level, also allowing a set of configurations to be applied together using the collection feature . By deploying predefined configurations or deploying custom scripts, IT administrators can modify firewall settings and protect corporate data, which is critical in remote endpoint protection.
Help improve your organization's security posture by facilitating the implementation of controls that are recommended practices for reducing attack surface, namely CIS, GDPR, ISO, PCI, HIPPA, VPAT, RBI, and NIST.
Critical patch deployment
Endpoint Central provides a fully automated patch management solution for Windows, Mac, Linux and third-party applications so IT administrators can automatically deploy patches every step of the way and save time, effort and support resources. To avoid bandwidth congestion and ensure system availability in remote endpoint management environments, system administrators can schedule patch installations at convenient dates and times by configuring deployment policies.
Allows agents to download patches directly from a trusted vendor site rather than from the server, which ensures bandwidth consumption and smooth patching cycles when employees are working remotely. Endpoint Hub agents also have the ability to switch between LAN and Internet connections. Intelligence to switch between direct and server downloads.
With the increasing popularity of remote workforces, patch cycles have been disrupted, making vulnerability prioritization a priority. Leverage advanced vulnerability dashboards and priority filters to narrow threat scope by remediating vulnerabilities, and use automated patch deployment to seamlessly automate patch cycles.
Reduce risk with application controls
Endpoint Central scans your network regularly for software and hardware inventory details and detects any changes in the network. Asset scans can be initiated remotely from anywhere and once completed, a detailed report will be sent to the configured email ID. Detects the presence of risky software such as BitTorrent, Pando, Usenet, etc. and uninstalls them immediately. Leverage application whitelisting to ensure these applications are never allowed to execute in the endpoint. Since system administrators need to ensure that no computers on the network have any prohibited software installed, they can also choose to notify users and request that they uninstall the software themselves.
Implement advanced device controls
Unknown hardware and storage devices can pose dangerous threats to corporate data and devices, especially in remote endpoint management. Since this use cannot be completely eliminated in a remote work environment, Endpoint Central's Secure USB feature helps administrators selectively restrict the use of USB devices based on role and department, giving IT administrators the ability to centrally block or disable them across the network. they. This prevents unauthorized download and upload activity, as well as the possibility of injecting harmful malware into the network.
Detect and instantly classify 18+ built-in and external peripherals for Windows and Mac endpoints as trusted, allowed, temporarily allowed, or blocked, track and audit all device and file operations, and see at a glance all operations and File operation trends.
Browser-Level Internet Security
Browser-based security is becoming increasingly important in internet security, and in response to this alarming influx of vulnerabilities, it is critical to protect network data and systems from privacy breaches and malware. Browser attacks, such as in-browser and cryptojacking, can fly under the radar, making their detection challenging. Because web browsers do not have advanced embedded security, IT administrators need to customize security levels to keep intruders at bay.
Endpoint Center ensures that this complete process is simplified by providing powerful browser security extensions. Administrators can configure browser settings with a single click and deploy them centrally to users' browsers, regardless of their physical location. Once configured, users cannot override them or bypass the warning screen to access infected websites.
Seamless help desk management
Remote working can lead to a significant increase in the number of help desk tickets. Endpoint Central integrates with five different help desk solutions namely Jira, Zendesk, ServiceDesk Plus and Spiceworks to provide endpoint management capabilities directly from the help desk console. These integrations are through Reducing ticket turnaround time helps improve help desk productivity, allowing IT teams to meet SLAs faster.
Modern management
Efficiently control network devices from remote locations with Endpoint Central's comprehensive, modern management capabilities that ease migration to Windows 10, bulk enrollment, application distribution, and better endpoint security, including the ability to remotely wipe endpoints that alleviate reduces the burden on IT administrators, increases overall productivity, reduces unnecessary downtime, and improves network security.
Endpoint Central is a unified endpoint management solution that is easy to set up and use, and friendly within an organization's budget. This endpoint management solution enables IT administrators to confidently address network challenges and ensure efficient execution of remote endpoint management and Remote endpoint security tasks.
