Four lines producing a single truthful register: what you own, who has it, what it runs, and whether it has been anywhere near a patch this quarter. Computers, Macs and handsets, hanging on one board.
Asset lists rot. Somebody builds a spreadsheet in January, three laptops get swapped in March, a contractor keeps a machine, and by July the document describes a company that no longer exists. An agent on the hardware avoids that problem entirely, because the list is the machines rather than a description of them.
The same agent is how work gets done at a distance. Patching, remote sessions and putting a wandering machine back all travel through it, so a box two states away is no harder to help than one in the next room.
Windows, macOS and Linux computers are minded and patched on one line, with web protection available to ride on top of it. Apple hardware gets a management line of its own, because profiles and Apple compliance controls are a different craft from patching a Windows estate.
Handsets carry their own detection, running on the phone instead of in a console somewhere, being the only arrangement that holds up for a device spending its life on other people's networks.
A register somebody typed goes stale. A register the machines write does not.
Figures below are read straight from billing. Whatever you sign out waits on your roll while you keep reading.
An agent reporting condition, what hardware and software is present, and where patching stands, plus a way for our engineers to work on a box without booking a screen share and losing an afternoon to it. Handset and tablet management comes along on the same line.
| Fits | One managed device, be it a desk box, a laptop, a server or a handset. |
|---|---|
| Works on | Linux, macOS and Windows, with enrollment for handsets and tablets. |
| Stored for | Contents and patch history are kept, so last month can be evidenced. |
| Issued by | N-able N-sight, landed and maintained by Fortify 24x7 engineers. |
| Inspected by | Fortify 24x7 engineers, taking whatever the agent flags. |
Category and reputation blocking enforced at the device instead of the office router, so it survives a hotel lobby and somebody's kitchen table equally. Where a browser went and how much it moved stays visible, private windows included.
| Fits | One managed device that already carries the monitoring agent. |
|---|---|
| Works on | Managed devices running Windows, and Macs as well. |
| Stored for | Browsing and traffic reporting is retained over the reporting window. |
| Issued by | N-able N-sight web protection, configured by Fortify 24x7 engineers. |
| Inspected by | Fortify 24x7 engineers, revisiting the category policy on request. |
Apple hardware handled as Apple hardware. Profiles, software delivery, hardened settings and a compliance reading, applied to a fleet that may never once visit your office, with a machine put back where it belongs remotely when it wanders.
| Fits | One piece of Apple hardware, whether Mac or iOS. |
|---|---|
| Works on | macOS and iOS, counting hardware that never once visits an office. |
| Stored for | Settings and compliance history are kept while you hold the line. |
| Issued by | Addigy, with profiles drawn and kept current by Fortify 24x7 engineers. |
| Inspected by | Fortify 24x7 engineers, watching for drift and putting it back. |
Judgment that happens on the phone itself, which is why it carries on working at cruising altitude and in a basement. It watches for hostile and reckless apps, for phishing arriving outside the mail, for handsets that have been broken open, and for wireless nobody should trust.
| Fits | One handset or tablet, Android or iOS. |
|---|---|
| Works on | iOS and Android phones, and the tablets alongside them. |
| Stored for | Findings for an enrolled handset are held as long as it stays enrolled. |
| Issued by | Zimperium, enrolled with a hand from Fortify 24x7 engineers. |
| Inspected by | Fortify 24x7 engineers, taking whatever the handset raises. |
Fleet work is where truthful limits matter most, because the gaps are the part nobody can see.
