Mitigate the risk of unmanaged devices with Prelude

In this conversation, Chris Singlemann and Pete Constantine discuss the critical issue of unmanaged devices in organizational environments. They define unmanaged devices, explore their risks, and highlight the challenges faced by IT and security teams in managing these devices. The discussion emphasizes the need for a new approach to device management, focusing on visibility and control. Prelude's innovative solutions for identifying and managing devices are presented, along with strategies for prioritizing control gaps and ensuring comprehensive security. The conversation concludes with a call to action for organizations to assess their device management practices and consider continuous monitoring to mitigate risks.

What you need to know:

• Unmanaged devices drive risk: Over 90% of successful attacks originate from them, creating blind spots that weaken security and complicate insurance claims.
• Visibility and monitoring are critical: Organizations often lack a centralized view, and remote work has made device management more fragmented—requiring new tools and continuous assessment.
• Closing control gaps reduces exposure: Proactive management of devices and controls not only strengthens security posture but also directly lowers organizational and insurance risk.
