Autonomous endpoint management (AEM) software is used by information technology (IT) and information security (InfoSec) teams to perform the core functions of traditional endpoint management software autonomously. While traditionally operated endpoint management software helps users monitor various devices in a system to ensure their software is secure and up-to-date, AEM software accomplishes those same functions with minimal to no human intervention.
AEM’s robust autonomous core functionality aids in relieving necessary but time-consuming work from IT and InfoSec teams. This software’s integration with artificial intelligence (AI) enables it to identify new issues with endpoints and adapt to them. These adaptations include the ability to patch software to address new and emerging problems that endpoint ecosystems face as they arise.
To qualify for inclusion in the Autonomous Endpoint Management (AEM) category, a product must:
Autonomously manage endpoints with the integration of AI
Automatically apply and enforce security policies across endpoints to ensure compliance with predetermined organizational security policies without human oversight and intervention
Predictively detect and block new and emerging threats without manual oversight before they infiltrate devices or networks
Self-heal issues at endpoints, such as fixing misconfigurations or corrupted files
Provide health and performance analytics of endpoints across the network in a centralized dashboard for IT and InfoSec oversight
