You can’t manage, service or secure something you don’t know is there. That’s why building a solid, unified foundation of IT asset management is an essential step before you can achieve true unified endpoint management (UEM). In this on-demand webcast, you’ll get a deep dive into:

• The elements of a unified asset management environment
• How UEM and asset management can work together
• Best practices of IT asset management

The Internet of Things (IoT) has fueled a proliferation of connected devices that do amazing things. According to Gartner, the number of connected devices grew 30 percent between 2016 and 2017, and the analyst firm predicts there will be 20 billion connected endpoints worldwide by 2020.

If your business wants to get on board, you’ve got to face the challenge of managing and securing these devices to protect your networks — and all of the critical data that resides there.

Watch this on-demand webcast to learn how unified endpoint management (UEM) enables you to optimize your system and securely manage all of your devices from a single console.

You’ll learn:

• Why UEM is critical in IoT
• What to consider before moving to UEM
• How to move to UEM

Speakers

• Timothy Warner - Microsoft MVP
• Efrain Viscarolasaga - Product Marketing Sr. Advisor

As the recent WannaCry outbreak demonstrates, not only is it necessary to be able to deploy patches and software updates quickly, but it's also necessary to ensure that they have been deployed to all systems in your organization. Not only do you need to be able to do this, but you need to make sure that patches and updates are only deployed after you are certain that they won’t adversely impact your current software environment.

In this session, join Quest to learn what you need to know about a comprehensive patch and software update strategy. This includes:

• Keeping up to date with what updates and patches are available
• Ensuring that existing systems are fully updated
• Developing a tiered approach to update and patch deployment, ensuring that you can roll back should something go wrong
• How to do all of this with a minimum necessary amount of administrative effort
