THE CHALLENGE: A LEGACY APPROACH TO ENTERPRISE IT OPERATIONS
When it comes to endpoint management, enterprises with more than 100,000 endpoints are struggling to find an easy-to-use, comprehensive patching and endpoint hardening solution that can meet the needs of today’s workforce. Enterprises of this size are being challenged to manage devices and systems that vary widely across the organization. They must maintain multiple domains, a large variety of third-party software, and various configuration and security requirements across all of these devices that are located around the world.
Complicating matters is the fact that many of these enterprises are bound to complex, legacy on-premises patching and endpoint hardening tools that were designed for a different era.
Over the course of decades, these organizations have made considerable investments in on-premises IT infrastructure, not to mention growing large IT teams that are specialized in supporting these complex on-premises data centers. Yet these tools were born at a time when most corporate devices could easily be secured and maintained within a traditional corporate perimeter.
Considering the massive shift to remote work and the accelerated cyberattacks on these remote devices, enterprises must contend with the fact that their data centers are being rapidly decentralized, and their attack surface is expanding far beyond the corporate walls. These organizations are discovering that securing all parts of a digital environment presents a unique challenge with increasingly distributed teams.
THE PROBLEMS WITH ON-PREMISES ENDPOINT MANAGEMENT:
Requires specialized IT skills and staffing
Globally distributed, on-premises infrastructure
Complex, unintegrated IT tool sets
Fractured approach to IT and security operations
THE SOLUTION: A SHIFT TO CLOUD-NATIVE PATCHING & ENDPOINT MANAGEMENT
Shifting technology and business solutions to the cloud is not a new way of thinking for most large enterprises. Enterprises have adopted next-generation and cloud-native technologies into many of their business groups, from security operations to sales management, with 88% of organizations using cloud-native tools in one form or another. But despite the wide variety of capabilities and security available through cloud-native tools, only 17% of enterprises are operating a total cloud workspace, and 39% are using hybrid cloud infrastructure, combining their on-premises architecture with cloud-native tools.
While shifting to cloud-native operations and tool sets has been consistent across many enterprises, patching and endpoint management remains predominantly on-premises. Yet if organizations committed to moving all their IT applications to the cloud, they would quickly realize that the costs to stay with the same on-premises patching and endpoint management tools are far more expensive than the cost to shift to a modern cloud-native patching and endpoint hardening solution.
