MDM Solution Brief

Frequently asked questions
How can MDM solutions identify unmanaged devices in hybrid environments?
ORDR's asset intelligence enhances traditional MDM by discovering and classifying both managed and unmanaged devices across hybrid and remote networks. This unified approach reveals security blind spots that MDM alone cannot detect, enabling organizations to inventory their entire device ecosystem regardless of management status.
What's the difference between managed and unmanaged device visibility?
Managed devices are enrolled in MDM platforms with active policies, while unmanaged devices operate without centralized control. ORDR bridges this gap by providing deep visibility into unmanaged devices—including IoT, OT, and shadow IT assets—that traditional MDM solutions miss, allowing security teams to assess and mitigate risks before threats materialize.
Why is device classification critical for endpoint security?
Accurate device classification enables targeted security policies and risk prioritization. ORDR classifies devices by type, function, and behavior to help organizations understand their attack surface and apply appropriate protections, reducing the likelihood of misconfigured or overlooked endpoints becoming entry points for attackers.
