Managing endpoints across an entire organisation is a primary function of any IT department. For many, it’s a continuous cycle of patching vulnerabilities, deploying software, and managing high device costs. This is particularly true for businesses supporting a mix of office-based, remote, and frontline workers who all have different needs. A modern device strategy must be secure, cost-effective, and reduce the operational strain on IT.Â
This is where ASUS Chromebooks present a strong business case. By operating on Google’s ChromeOS, these devices are built from the ground up for a cloud-first world, offering a direct answer to many traditional endpoint challenges.Â
Â
Security and Management by DefaultÂ
Instead of relying on third-party security software, ChromeOS has security built into its core. Every application runs in its own isolated ‘sandbox’, meaning threats are contained and cannot impact the wider system. With verified boot and automatic updates that run in the background, devices are always running the latest, most secure version of the OS without user intervention or IT downtime.Â
For your IT team, management is handled through the cloud-based Google Admin Console. This allows for zero-touch enrolment, where devices are configured automatically out of the box, and provides your team with the tools to enforce policies and deploy applications to the entire fleet remotely. For organisations that need deeper controls, Chromebook Plus Enterprise unlocks advanced security and management capabilities.Â
