IT and security teams are consolidating management and security functions to help better deliver new applications to end users, improve regulatory compliance, and reduce cyberattacks resulting from poor coordination between endpoint security and management teams, according to Syxsense.

A key report finding indicates that unmanaged device usage continues to increase, with most organizations having endpoint security blind spots - only 43% of respondents claim to be actively monitoring 75% or more of endpoints.

Despite these blind spots, and the fact that unmanaged device usage is growing, most survey respondents believe endpoint security and management are getting easier compared to two years ago.

91% of organizations report consolidating some or all of the teams and individuals responsible for endpoint management and security.

Management and security tool sprawl also continues to present challenges for IT and security teams and is driving the desire for better integration and tool consolidation.

"The endpoint management and security market has changed dramatically over the past two years driven by a remote workforce and increased device usage. These changes are creating more endpoint visibility gaps, which ultimately translate into increased risk and attacks," said Ashley Leonard, CEO at Syxsense.
