Ivanti expands management for endpoints and workspaces

Ivanti has announced new capabilities for its Unified Endpoint Manager and User Workspace Manager.

 

Unified Endpoint Manager 2020.1 Service Update 2 delivers timely innovations to support IT teams with greater granular control, regardless of where devices are being used and they automate security to mitigate risk exposure. New features support endpoints of all types, whether users are accessing company data on company-issued or non-issued devices, or operating using home, public or company networks.

“Our latest releases of Unified Endpoint Manager and User Workspace Manager further simplify the IT management experience while adding robust support for devices of all types, securing and controlling them no matter where and how they are accessing corporate data – all from a single and intuitive console. When combined with the hyper-automated Ivanti Neurons platform, these expanded solutions further enable the self-healing, autonomous edge,” said Alan Braithwaite, senior director, product management, Ivanti.
