Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) platforms centrally configure, secure, and maintain the fleet of corporate-managed devices — laptops, desktops, phones, tablets — across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and ChromeOS. Core capabilities include zero-touch enrollment and provisioning, OS and application patching, configuration profile and policy enforcement, software distribution, remote wipe and lock, compliance posture assessment, device inventory, and integration with the IdP for conditional access signals. UEM consolidates the prior generation of MDM (mobile) and client management (desktop) into a single cross-platform control plane.
