Configure Security Policies for Endpoints & End-Users with Confidence

If your IT team is like most, it relies heavily on internal collaboration to decide what goes into its security policy configurations for endpoints, end-users and everything in between. Resources and skills specializing in support for endpoints such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops are often in short supply.

Adding to the complexity, you have hundreds of combinations to choose from. It’s guesswork knowing whether policies are aligned with best practices across peers, industry, and deployment size.

When it comes to policy configuration workflows, there may be templates at your disposal, but they are typically step-by-step, one-size-fits-all guides. They aren’t geared toward your organization and its individual needs. There’s no clear-cut way to know what your peers are doing—or whether there are better methods and approaches available that you should be following.

Ideally, your unified endpoint management (UEM) solution will give you an easy way to understand how to configure common policies, including:

  • Best practices to consider when creating a passcode policy.
  • How others have configured their secure corporate container.
  • Various restrictions that a company of your size, within your industry, and in your region should enforce.

Imagine a way to configure and enforce policies with guidance that is dynamically presented every step of the way, catered to your organization, where it’s located, and the size of your deployment. Whether you’re new to the game—or have been managing policies for years—a little confidence in your configurations goes a long way.
