Client Manager for Endpoint Protection

As organizations expand to make acquisitions and generally de-centralize, it is not unusual to end up with multiple, competing endpoint security vendors. This makes global consolidated management and reporting nearly impossible, while fears of switching costs make it difficult to leverage the organization's size to negotiate better pricing. It also increases the coverage gap - the number of endpoints without endpoint protection or with outdated signatures.
