The Growing Role of AI in Endpoint Management and Security Convergence

Organizations continue to face increasing complexity in endpoint management and security that is driven by the rapid expansion of remote work, rising device and OS sprawl, vulnerability management and incident response challenges, and continuing threats like ransomware. At the same time, the growing influence of AI and automation is reshaping both offensive and defensive strategies—empowering defenders with new tools while enabling bad actors to launch more sophisticated attacks.

To gain further insight into these trends, how organizations are attempting to overcome challenges, and the results of their efforts, Enterprise Strategy Group, now part of Omdia, surveyed 364 IT and cybersecurity professionals in North America (US and Canada) responsible for evaluating, purchasing, and supporting endpoint management and/or security technologies.
