Splashtop Adds Device Setup & App Deployment to Endpoint Mgmt

Splashtop

IT teams and MSPs now have the power to automate setup, enforce security policies, and streamline operations across distributed environments.

Splashtop announced significant upgrades to its Autonomous Endpoint Management (AEM) platform, empowering IT teams with enhanced control over Windows and Mac device security across their environments. These new capabilities enable IT administrators to efficiently enforce network and security policies while seamlessly deploying and patching software at scale. This announcement marks the latest milestone in Splashtop’s ongoing commitment to realizing autonomous IT — driving operational efficiency and real-time security for organizations with lean IT resources.

Building upon recently introduced features such as ring-based policy management, vulnerability scanning, configurable alerts, and automated remediation and scripting, the updated AEM solution now allows centralized management of endpoint configurations, OS and third-party applications, and instant policy enforcement across the entire device ecosystem.

In today’s fast-paced, distributed work environments, organizations face mounting challenges to maintain secure, compliant systems amid constrained IT staffing. Splashtop AEM addresses these challenges by enabling IT teams to standardize configuration policies that automatically apply to new devices, mitigating misconfiguration risks and enhancing device security from the moment they connect to the network. IT administrators can now remotely configure Wi-Fi, proxy, and firewall settings, enforce screen lock and password requirements, and deploy or patch software—including OS updates and popular third-party or custom applications. These policies can be tailored to individuals, groups, or entire departments, ensuring consistent device readiness aligned with corporate standards.

At the core of these capabilities lies Splashtop’s agent-based architecture, providing immediate visibility and real-time enforcement. The solution not only fortifies security as a standalone SaaS offering but also integrates seamlessly with existing Mobile Device Management (MDM) tools like Microsoft Intune, enhancing them with real-time patching, scripting, dashboards, and automated remediation.

“It only takes one misconfigured device or unpatched app to expose your entire organization. Every unsecured endpoint exponentially increases the risk of a breach. Splashtop AEM gives IT the power to act quickly, stay compliant, and operate at scale,” said Mark Lee, CEO and Co-founder of Splashtop. “These updates are part of our broader vision to deliver seamless, proactive, and autonomous endpoint management no matter the organization’s size.”

Key Features Now Available in Splashtop AEM Include:

  • Comprehensive device configuration for Wi-Fi, firewall, proxy, screen-lock, and password policies

  • Remote application deployment directly from the AEM console

  • Automated policy inheritance ensuring new devices adopt configurations based on group assignments

  • Agent-based architecture delivering real-time enforcement, monitoring, and responsiveness

  • Vulnerability scanning to detect CVEs/KEVs and prioritize security risks effectively

  • Automated patch management for operating systems, third-party software, and custom in-house applications

  • Ring-based policy management supporting phased, risk-aware rollouts

  • Customizable dashboards for centralized, real-time system health monitoring

  • Configurable alerts and Smart Actions enabling automated detection and resolution of issues

  • One-to-many execution capabilities for scripting, mass deployments, remote commands, and system updates

By combining operational efficiency with proactive, real-time security, Splashtop AEM offers IT teams a cost-effective solution to enforce compliance automatically. This ensures smoother business continuity and enhances employee productivity while freeing IT resources to focus on strategic priorities.
