Unmanaged devices — including personal phones, contractor laptops, and home computers — are one of today’s most significant blind spots in enterprise security. Conventional tools such as MDM, EDR, and VPNs protect managed assets, but they offer limited visibility and enforcement when it comes to devices outside organizational control. This whitepaper examines the rising risks associated with unmanaged endpoints, outlines five essential capabilities for securing these devices, and offers guidance for deploying solutions that provide continuous, user-friendly device trust without compromising productivity or user trust. Case studies and lessons from incident investigations demonstrate how organizations can transition traditional device management to resilient access controls that safeguard sensitive data in remote, hybrid, and bring-your-own-device environments.
