Introduction2:51
Learn tool-agnostic strategies for securing, monitoring, and managing endpoints with focus on security policies, patching, compliance, and lifecycle management from acquisition to decommissioning.
What is Endpoint Management6:59

Step 1 - Setting Up an Endpoint Management Solution (1)4:17
Choose and deploy an endpoint management solution to secure, monitor devices, and decide on on-premises vs cloud; tailor tools like Intune, Workspace One, Jamf for your ecosystem.
Step 1 - Setting Up an Endpoint Management Solution (2)6:00
Step 2 - Securing Endpoints (1)5:51
Step 2 - Securing Endpoints (2)4:35
Step 3 - Monitoring and Managing Endpoint Performance (1)5:32
Track CPU usage, memory, disk space, and battery life with real-time monitoring, automate updates and security scans, and use a health checklist to standardize endpoint management.
Step 3 - Monitoring and Managing Endpoint Performance (2)4:21
Automate endpoint monitoring to track CPU and memory, disk space, updates, patches, antivirus, and network health; generate reports and trigger actions to maintain performance and security.
Step 4 - Software Distribution and Patch Management (1)7:24
Distribute software to endpoints using centralized tools, group policies, cloud-based deployment, and package management. Automate and verify patch updates to close vulnerabilities and keep devices secure and up to date.
Step 4 - Software Distribution and Patch Management (2)4:20
Step 5 - Endpoint Security Incident Response (1)6:35
Identify and respond to endpoint security incidents with automated monitoring, containment, remediation, and recovery, using a template incident response plan to minimize downtime and data loss.
Step 5 - Endpoint Security Incident Response (2)4:42

Endpoint Lifecycle Management (1)6:25
Master endpoint lifecycle management from acquisition to retirement, covering configuration, deployment, active use, updates, maintenance, upgrades, secure decommissioning, data backup, compliant disposal, and a lifecycle management checklist template.
Endpoint Lifecycle Management (2)3:05
Acquire and configure endpoints, apply encryption and MFA, deploy devices, and begin active management to protect data and support the endpoint lifecycle from deployment to decommissioning, using a checklist.

Compliance and Reporting (1)3:57
Ensure endpoint compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS through encryption and access controls. Generate health and compliance reports and use a template checklist to prepare for audits.
Compliance and Reporting (2)4:59
Monitor endpoint performance, security status, and GDPR, HIPAA, PCI, DSS compliance across devices by collecting patch, antivirus, encryption, and access logs; use automated, scheduled reports for audits and remediation.
