Managing Windows Endpoints

The Microsoft Windows operating system is both flexible and powerful—able to support businesses of all sizes and a huge library of applications of every kind. Those very advantages, however, make Windows devices and applications difficult to monitor, manage, and secure. From day to day, things may work as expected, they may show random and unpredictable behavior—or they may stop working altogether. Even more challenging is trying to discover what the cause of a problem is, where the problem is located, and the remedy.

In short, you need to be able to SEE the endpoints, ANALYZE the issues, and FIX the problems.

Uptime, policy compliance, and security are critical in an organization of any size because all endpoints are susceptible and vulnerable. But, especially if you’re a vast and widely distributed enterprise dependent upon Windows, you cannot completely depend on a traditional approach to discovery and mitigation—that is, deploying any number of various Microsoft agents throughout your network to mitigate discrete problems here and there, hit or miss.

In fact, that approach by itself, only makes things more complicated. It fails to provide total visibility. It fails to provide adequate information for decision-making. And it lacks the ability to mitigate the entire range of problems.

So how do you manage your Windows environment? With an agentless booster shot—a solution that makes what you already have, work better.

The only surefire solution comes from Promisec.

Our Windows approach is:

Agentless: No WMI, ActiveX, or dissolvable agents. There is virtually no impact on your network, nor changes to your endpoints.

Thorough: 100% endpoint visibility

Fast: Takes only 4–5 second per machine

Comprehensive: Accounts for machine configuration, currency of updates, status of deployment, and compliance with policy

Powerful: Remediates most problems automatically or with a single click of the mouse

Complementary: Strengthens the qualities of your existing tools

Unparalleled: Best-of-class endpoint control solution
