UEM
UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) is a security and management system that helps organizations control and protect all their company devices - like computers, phones, tablets, and even IoT devices - from one central place. Think of it as a master control system that lets IT teams manage device security, update software, and enforce company policies across all devices that employees use for work. It's the modern evolution of what used to be called Mobile Device Management (MDM) or Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM), but now covers all types of devices. Popular UEM solutions include Microsoft Intune, VMware Workspace ONE, and IBM MaaS360.
