A well managed endpoint is a secure endpoint.

IBM Tivoli® Endpoint Manager—built on BigFix® technology—helps you achieve smarter, faster endpoint management.  It combines endpoint and security management into a single solution that enables your team to see and manage physical and virtual endpoints—servers, desktops, roaming laptops, mobile devices and specialized equipment such as point-of-sale devices, ATMs and self-service kiosks. As threats emerge, the software allows you to rapidly remediate, protect, and report on endpoints in real-time.  By automating time-intensive tasks across complex networks, you can control costs while reducing risk and supporting compliance.  Tivoli Endpoint Manager can be deployed in days for any network size or configuration, providing a very rapid return on investment.

 

Capabilities:

  • Single intelligent agent for continuous endpoint self-assessment and policy enforcement
  • Real-time visibility and control from a single management console
  • Manage hundreds of thousands of endpoints regardless of location, connection type or
  • status (Endpoints including network-attached servers and desktops, Internet-connected
  • laptops, mobile devices, and specialized equipment such as point-of-sale (POS) devices,
  • ATMs and self-service kiosks)
  • Support heterogeneous platforms—Microsoft® Windows®, UNIX®, Linux® and Mac
  • operating systems

Benefits:

  • Gain enterprise-wide real-time visibility
  • Reduce management complexity and cost, increase accuracy, and boost productivity
  • Enable rapid response to threats and simplify response to ad-hoc requests to quickly
  • address Zero Day attacks
  • Collapse management actions from weeks / months to hours / days
  • Transparently manage mobile computers, connected or not
  • Easily add new Tivoli Endpoint Manager capabilities with a new license key

Step 1 – Configuration Management:
“Address the 65% and check that things are configured right and you’ve just eliminated 2/3 of your
problem.”

Step 2 – Patch Management
“Focus on patch management and forcing software vendors to write better software and you’ve got the
other 30% taken care of.”
Step 3 – Endpoint Protection
“Then, later on, worry about the 5% of evil geniuses who are attacking us with zero-day attacks.“
