Scalefusion 今日宣布，其統一端點管理解決方案現已為 macOS 設備推出應用程式目錄功能。此功能由 Installomator 提供支援，簡化了 macOS 設備上第三方應用程式的部署與管理。

由於應用程式分發的去中心化特性，在 macOS 上管理應用程式存在獨特的挑戰。與 iOS 不同，iOS 的應用程式主要從 App Store 獲取，而 macOS 應用程式則經常從各種外部來源取得。

Scalefusion 的 macOS 應用程式目錄為 IT 團隊提供了一個集中化的方式來處理第三方應用程式分發，減少了複雜性和行政管理工作量。

macOS 應用程式目錄通過進階功能簡化了應用程式管理，包括應用程式的靜默安裝、提供自助服務目錄讓使用者可按需從超過 400 個經批准的應用程式列表中進行安裝，以及自動後台更新以確保第三方應用程式的安全性和合規性。此外，可自訂的安裝行為使 IT 團隊能夠配置工作流程、應用特定設置，並高效管理應用程式版本。

「一如既往，我們在 Scalefusion 的使命是為 IT 團隊提供減少複雜性並提高效率的工具。隨著 macOS 應用程式目錄的推出，我們讓第三方應用程式管理變得更高效，減少了 IT 團隊的時間消耗。我們的目標是幫助 IT 團隊節省時間，確保 IT 管理員和最終使用者都能擁有順暢的體驗，」Scalefusion 產品與增長副總裁 Spurti Preetham Gurram 表示。

Managing macOS applications presents a distinct challenge for IT administrators. Unlike iOS, where apps are centralized within the App Store, the majority of macOS apps are distributed through various external sources. This decentralized approach makes it difficult to monitor installations, manage updates, and ensure proper configurations. 

At Scalefusion, we’ve taken on this challenge head-on, introducing a streamlined solution that redefines how enterprises manage macOS applications—simplifying processes, enhancing control, and minimizing administrative overhead.

This is why, we are excited to announce the App Catalog for macOS.

This feature is designed to streamline the way IT admins deploy, update, and manage third-party applications. With this release, we’re putting the control back in the hands of IT teams, ensuring a seamless experience for both admins and end-users.

What’s new?

The App Catalog for macOS introduces a suite of powerful features to enhance application management:

• App Catalog: Give your users the freedom to install approved apps from a curated list known as the App Catalog, minimizing the need for IT support.
• Centralized app installation and updates: Enable end-users to install and update 400+ third-party applications directly from the Scalefusion dashboard, saving time and reducing complexity.
• Automated updates: Set up automatic updates for supported applications to ensure devices are always running the latest versions, eliminating the risks associated with outdated software.
• Pre- and Post-installation scripts: Configure custom scripts to tailor application behavior before and after installation, catering to your organization’s specific needs.
• Manage app permissions: Effortlessly auto-grant app permissions while ensuring security policy compliance with minimal user intervention.

How it works?

The macOS App Catalog leverages Installomator, a robust tool designed for seamless application installation and management. Here’s how it functions within Scalefusion:

• Comprehensive catalog access: View and select 400+ applications directly on the Scalefusion dashboard.
• Easy deployment: Once selected, apps can be deployed to device groups or profiles with just a few clicks.
• Configurable options: Customize app installations with pre- and post-installation scripts to meet organizational requirements.
• Real-time updates: Stay informed about app installation and update statuses to ensure uninterrupted functionality across devices.

Why App Catalog for macOS?

With App Catalog for macOS, we’re addressing one of the most significant pain points for IT teams, which is the efficient management of third-party applications on managed macOS devices. 

This feature aims to simplify the application management lifecycle, right from deployment to updates, allowing IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than operational hurdles.

A device getting stolen or lost can lead to devastating consequences for businesses, whether they operate on-premises, remotely, or in a hybrid model. In fact, studies show that 41% of all data breaches are the result of lost or stolen devices, highlighting the urgent need for robust security measures.^[1]

Remote wiping of Windows devices is an effective solution to mitigate this risk. By remotely erasing all data on a device, organizations can prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information, ensuring that even if a device is lost or stolen, the data remains secure.

Let’s explore how to remotely wipe data if your Windows laptop or desktop is lost or stolen, and discover the added benefits of using a UEM solution for this task. You’ll also learn how to remotely wipe a Windows device using Scalefusion UEM.

How to remote wipe a Windows computer?

1. By Enabling ‘Find My Device’ in Microsoft 

Microsoft has its built-in ‘Find My Device’ feature that can help small businesses and individuals to remotely wipe Windows-based laptops and PCs. 

Step 1. Enable Find My Device via Settings > Update & Security > Find My Device.

Step 2: Sign in to Your Microsoft Account. 

Step 3: Select the lost or compromised device and choose the ‘Erase’ option.

2. Using Command Line Scripts

For IT professionals and advanced users, leveraging command-line scripting is a direct way to remotely wipe Windows devices. This method requires prior configuration of remote desktop access and appropriate administrative privileges on the target device.

For example, you can use PowerShell to execute a disk-wiping script. Here’s a sample command:

powershell
CopyEdit
Clear-Disk -Number 1 -RemoveData -Confirm:$false

This command clears the specified disk, removing all data without requiring user confirmation. Ensure you double-check the disk number to avoid accidental data loss on unintended drives.

3. Using  third-party UEM/MDM software

Unlike the initial two methods, remote wiping your Windows-based laptop using a Unified Endpoint Management solution has additional benefits. While former methods are suitable for personal Windows computers and laptops and small deployments, managing a large and distributed fleet of Windows devices is much more difficult. UEM solutions have become indispensable for streamlining device management, including secure remote wiping.

Why choose a UEM for Remote Wiping?

• Centralized management: UEM platforms provide a single console to manage all enrolled devices, making it easier to initiate remote actions like wiping, even for large-scale deployments.
• Real-time control: With a UEM in place, IT admins can monitor device activity in real-time and instantly execute a remote wipe if a device is lost, stolen, or compromised. This minimizes the window of vulnerability.
• Compliance assurance: Many industries have stringent data protection regulations. UEM solutions help organizations stay compliant by ensuring sensitive data is erased securely and effectively.
• Automation capabilities: Advanced endpoint management tools allow for automated workflows, such as triggering a remote wipe when a device is reported lost or after multiple failed login attempts.
• Cross-platform support: Most UEM solutions support not only Windows but also other operating systems such as iOS, macOS, Android, Linux, and ChromeOS, enabling consistent security practices across diverse device inventories.
