SCCMOptimization

Findingsduringyearsofexperience

ShortcomingsofSCCMarenotgoingaway:• Uncontrolled software releases:SCCMpushes packages,butdid they really arriveatend-points?Did they breakanything?

• Unclear inventories of installed software packages create constant security risksatend-points

• reality-gap inHW-and SW-inventory responsible for immensecost/risks (e.g.license).

• Auditsatedious task,Rollouts/Patching costs 30-50%more than necessarysee:http://tinyurl.com/SCCM-cost-Patch-Mgt

ØSCCMitself is asecurity risk- and cost-driver(SCCM-hijacking to invade critical infrastructure)see:http://tinyurl.com/SCCM-Attack

Q&AonSCCMoptimizationSoftwareandhardwareassetmanagementsolutionsproandcons:1. Q:„Butour inventory is doing justfine!“

A:Ok,can you collect data on1000to 10,000assets in5to 50minutes?Accurate and inrealtime?If yes,awesome,if not:you haveasevere cost issue

2. Q:„Butour tool /applications deliver comparable services!“

A:Ok,happyto hear that,butcan they control ANDdeploy,fullyencrypted and proven viachecksum-control that allpackages aredelivered;plusprovide realtimeinventory?If yes fine,if notyouhave asevere security issue

3. If 1and 2are issues,R&Pcan deliver solutions
