Overview

This document describes how Endpoint Security for Microsoft Windows OS can be used with a device management system.

Mobile Device Management (MDM) is the management of mobile devices through use and security. Mobile devices are managed through a strategy that shows necessary information about each device, determines which applications can be installed, and remotely secures mobile devices if they are lost or stolen. MDM can also track a mobile device's location by the user and geographical location.

For more information, see What is Mobile Device Management (MDM)?.

Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solutions expand on the role of MDM to include support for other endpoints. UEM solutions offer support for desktops and laptops in home offices. This enables you to deploy a one solution to monitor all your remote endpoints.
