Establishing visibility in a distributed hybrid environment
Blog post from Fleet
A global leader in AI-powered smart boards and software aimed at enhancing hybrid collaboration faced challenges in securing its distributed developer workstations and remote laptops due to a lack of a formal Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution. The absence of an MDM created significant blind spots, especially with remote laptops and Linux workstations, preventing the IT team from ensuring device encryption, tracking vulnerabilities, or maintaining a consistent security posture. To address these issues, the company adopted Fleet, an open-source platform, for unified control across macOS, Windows, and Linux devices. This choice was influenced by Fleet's transparency and the hosted Cloud solution, which reduced server maintenance overhead. The implementation of Fleet provided instant visibility and automated synchronization, allowing for rapid vulnerability checks and continuous audits through agent check-ins every 10–15 seconds. Additionally, Fleet's API-driven automation eliminated manual data entry by syncing user attributes and device data with internal directories. By clearly communicating what is being monitored, the IT team effectively built trust with developers and freelancers, moving away from opaque management practices.
