What it is
Central management of company laptops and phones: inventory, encryption, security settings, app control and remote wipe.
How to value it
A lost laptop without encryption can be a reportable data breach, and an unmanaged device is invisible to every other control. Device management is the base layer that makes patching, endpoint detection and device-based access rules work.
Questions to ask a vendor
- 1Does it cover all our platforms: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux?
- 2Can access to company apps depend on the device being compliant?
- 3How are personal devices handled, with respect to employee privacy?
- 4What reporting proves encryption and settings to an auditor?
For your risk register

How we list vendors
- A product is listed because it provides the control. Nobody pays to be listed, and on story pages the examples rotate, so no vendor is always first.
- Vendor pages show both the vendor's own research and the incidents involving its products, from our own coverage. We do not leave either out.
- Our summaries are written by us, based on the vendors' own pages. Text in quotation marks or marked "in their own words" is the vendor's own, quoted from its website.
- Logos, product names and quoted text belong to the vendors and are shown to identify them.
- Something wrong? Use "Suggest a correction" on the vendor's page. A product we should look at? Email support@threatnoir.com.
