With the number of devices in an organization are growing, the system-administrators have to create various policies for endpoint devices based on various parameters like location, user-profile and so on. It is very difficult for the system administrators to check various security compliances for each device and manage the policies effectively.
Endpoint Compliance sub-system is a plug-in of SUMMIT Asset Management module. It can be used to check the policy compliance of the computing devices in an organization network. Other than the predefined policies, the organizations can define new policies for their specific requirements. These policies can be defined based on registry entries, value of WMI class, VB scripts, PowerShell, Batch Command and so on.
The Dashboard that is available in Endpoint compliance sub-system gives a real-time bird-eye view of various compliance checks and can be used as a single window for accessing the overall compliance of the computing systems in the organization's network. The dashboard can be configured to give summary of compliance based on location, Tenant, policies, owners and so on, which makes the endpoint management easy.
