Ivanti extends the automated management of end devices and workspaces. The new Unified Endpoint Management functions for remote and mobile workers include patch automation, agentless vulnerability analysis and advanced remote control options.
Ivanti has announced new features for the Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager and User Workspace Manager. The updates extend endpoint management for Windows, Android, Mac, iOS and Linux devices. IT teams are empowered to provide end users with a personalized and contextualized application experience.
Robust support for all types of devices
"At Ivanti, we drive innovations that deliver better experiences for users and better results for businesses," said Alan Braithwaite, senior director of product management at Ivanti. “Our latest versions of Unified Endpoint Manager and User Workspace Manager further simplify IT management. At the same time, they offer robust support for devices of all types that can be secured and controlled via a central, intuitive console regardless of where and how company data is accessed. In combination with the hyper-automation of Ivanti Neurons, the advanced solutions enable an autonomous self-healing edge. "
The Unified Endpoint Manager 2020.1 Service Update 2 improves location-independent control of devices by IT teams and automated IT security. The new functions support end devices regardless of whether they are company-owned or private devices (BYOD) and whether they work via private, public or company networks.
