Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) and IT Security: Critical Connections
UEM and cybersecurity are separate specialties within many enterprises and IT teams. However, these two important disciplines are inextricably intertwined. Herewith, some thoughts on those interdependencies and what they mean to your UEM and security management efforts.
Security Begins at Your Endpoints
The respected market watchers at Forrester Research perhaps said it best in The Forrester Wave™: Endpoint Security Suites, Q4 2016. “Endpoint security represents the frontline in your fight against cyberattackers. Breaches have become commonplace among enterprises, and your employee endpoints and servers are targeted more than any other type of asset.”
For its 2016 Global Business Technographics Security Survey, Forrester surveyed nearly 3,600 respondents from around the world.

- Corporate server (cited by 48 percent of respondents)
- Corporate-owned device (42 percent)
- Employee-owned device (40 percent)
