Today's rapidly changing IT network is more distributed and virtual than ever — the majority of data is stored on remote endpoint platforms, such as laptops and mobile PDAs, and accessed through public WiFi networks connected to an organization's IT network via the Internet. Mounting budget pressures are forcing companies to look increasingly at virtual and cloud-based computing alternatives. In addition, traditional point-based technologies and solutions have increased the complexity and cost to organizations, due to the management of many different consoles across multiple products.

With data flowing across a myriad of devices and platforms, organizations must have centralized visiblity and control of their networks in order to effectively manage IT risk and endpoint operations

New approaches and solutions are required to ensure enhanced security and compliance with the lowest total cost of ownership possible. The once-separate IT functions of operations and security must collaborate and share information seamlessly to gain the visibility needed to proactively address IT risk in a more effective and efficient manner. Lumension Endpoint Management and Security Suite is an extensible solution suite developed on the Lumension Endpoint Management Platform that reduces complexity, optimizes TCO, improves visibility and delivers control back to IT.

Lumension Endpoint Management and Security Suite provides:

Reduced complexity and TCO via an agile infrastructure, which delivers modularly licensed, best-of-breed product capabilities through an integrated console and single-agent architecture . Greater control and visibility with an end-to-end approach that includes capabilities to meet endpoint operations, security, compliance and IT risk management needs. Enhanced security through a unique "trust-centric" approach that enables rules-based exceptions to security and change management. Endpoint power management which reduces power consumption costs and enables the management and security of both online and offline endpoints.
