Baramundi Software AG publishes the second release of its baramundi Management Suite (bMS) in November. The comprehensive unified endpoint management solution (UEM) has been expanded with the "OT Edition" to include a variant for managing end devices in production environments.
In addition to inventory, this now also enables weak point detection on industrial control systems (ICS). The Argus Cockpit monitoring tool, which now also monitors individually selected data, has also been expanded.
baramundi Management Suite - OT Edition
Baramundi is adding the new OT Vulnerability Identification Module to the OT Edition - a variant of the Management Suite specially designed for networked production. The module gives those responsible for production a quick overview of existing software weaknesses for Siemens SIMATIC S7 OT devices as well as recommendations for their elimination. Existing but previously unknown risks for production are made transparent.
iOS user enrollment and single app mode
Another highlight is the expanded support for iOS “User Enrollment”. This enables secure use of mobile, iOS-based devices with a strict separation of business and private data. This allows the user to independently add his mobile device to management and remove it from management at any time. In addition, the bMS now also has the option of setting up dedicated devices for iOS. B. can be used as a user-independent iPad POS system in the catering or retail sector.
Extension of the cloud-based system control
The Argus Cockpit Tool allows IT administrators to monitor the status of their IT system regardless of time and location. The cloud-based application can call up the current status of one or more bMS-managed IT environments via the browser. In the new version, users can now use dynamic filters to monitor not only the previously displayed standard performance values but also individually selected key figures.
Further innovations in license management
In addition to various security-related improvements, the baramundi Management Suite 2020 also includes numerous other innovations: The baramundi License Management module offers further improved options for easy assignment of installations. Further detailed improvements can be found in the transmission logic of the end devices connected via the gateway. This means that downloads of updates from the bMS can be up to 25 times faster.
