Unified Endpoint Management (UEM):
The platform allows you to manage all endpoints, including desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablets, and even IoT devices, from a single console.
Data Protection:
Microsoft Endpoint Manager offers robust security features, including conditional access and compliance policies, ensuring your organisation’s data remains secure.
