Netwrix Endpoint Policy Manager
Centrally enforce Windows and macOS endpoint security and configuration policies.
"For teams needing consistent policy enforcement across hybrid, remote and non-domain Windows estates."
Enforce and manage endpoint security and configuration policies
Organisations struggle to keep endpoint settings consistent across domain, remote and non-domain devices. Native Group Policy can be limited for remote workforces and non-domain machines. Local admin rights, unmanaged apps and browser mismatches increase ransomware and support risk.
Netwrix Endpoint Policy Manager lets teams enforce policies centrally beyond native GPO. It provides least-privilege controls, file-owner allowlisting, Browser Router controls and tools to consolidate and deploy Group Policy settings via cloud or MDM. The product reduces configuration drift and lowers the burden on helpdesks while preserving user productivity.
Where Netwrix Endpoint Policy Manager is used
Prevent ransomware and shadow IT by using file-owner-based allowlisting and least-privilege controls to block untrusted scripts and unapproved apps. Reduce helpdesk tickets by automating UAC elevation, fixing browser and file mismatches, and speeding logins.
Consolidate GPO sprawl and deploy real Group Policy settings to remote or non-domain machines via cloud delivery or MDM. Use Browser Router to enforce browser compatibility for specific sites and applications.
