The traditional corporate perimeter has eroded in the past few years, extending the workforce outside the safety of the office walls. New hybrid work policies are forcing organizations to re-evaluate their device management strategy to accommodate these changes while increasing their concerns about efficiencies, flexibility, and security.
In this interview, Jody Evans, Product Manager at Quest Software, discusses why a modern device management strategy is critical to the uninterrupted operation of a business and how it can contribute to a Zero Trust approach.
How companies may be at risk without a modern device management strategy:
- Lack of automation that can divert IT resources and incur costs
- Inability to routinely run scripts, install apps and deploy patches
- Inadequate encryption for traditional and modern devices
- Unprotected data on a company or employee-owned devices, if lost or stolen
- Increased risk of data and security breaches
- Complicated onboarding and less documentation for new user assets
- Outdated, antiquated login/password systems that are vulnerable
