About this episode

Trevor Mansell and Brian Clark discuss modern endpoint management strategies and tools to enhance security and efficiency.

Trevor Mansell and Brian Clark break down what modern endpoint management looks like in the real world. With Windows 10 to 11 migrations in full swing and EUC stacks evolving, they share how XenTegra is simplifying tool sprawl and hardening security with a pragmatic trio: Microsoft Intune for deployment and compliance, ControlUp for real time visibility and DEX, and Heimdal for patching, EDR, DNS filtering, PAM, and a 24x7 SOC. They cover Secure DX and Edge DX, why API first tools matter, and how to generate audit ready reports for cyber insurance. The result is a scalable stack that helps help desks move faster, reduces technical debt, and keeps users productive on any network. What you will learn: How Intune and Autopilot streamline asset onboarding and baseline configuration Where ControlUp adds instant value with performance monitoring, scripted remediations, and network insight at the endpoint Why Heimdal consolidates security controls and offloads alert fatigue with a managed SOC How to meet insurance checklists with clear reporting on AV, patching, and controls Practical ways to reduce tool count, integrate with ServiceNow, and scale from small teams to large enterprises
