Device Management in UNISIGN combines lightweight enrolled agents with intelligent discovery so you always have visibility and control over the devices in your environment.
What It Means in Practice
Enrolled Agents Lightweight agents installed on endpoints (servers, workstations, VMs, cloud instances) that enable deep integration with UNISIGN’s PAM features. These agents allow:
- Secure credential injection
- Governed session launching
- Real-time policy enforcement
- Session recording
- Privilege monitoring
Broker-Driven Network Discovery UNISIGN’s broker actively scans and discovers new or unknown hosts on the target network — even those without agents yet. When a new device appears (e.g., a new server, IoT device, or rogue machine), it is automatically detected, inventoried, and can be brought under management quickly.
This hybrid approach gives you:
- Deep control on enrolled systems
- Broad visibility across the entire network through discovery
Real-World Workflow
- A new server is spun up in a client environment.
- UNISIGN’s broker detects it during network discovery and flags it as “unmanaged.”
- An admin or technician enrolls the agent (or uses agentless methods where possible).
- The device is immediately available for credential vaulting, JIT access, governed sessions, and policy application.
- All activity on that device is now fully audited and governed.
For MSPs managing hundreds of client networks, this means dramatically reduced blind spots.
Why IT Support Organizations Need Strong Device Management
Traditional RMM tools are good at managing devices they already know about, but they often struggle with:
- Rapidly discovering new or transient assets
- Enforcing privileged access controls consistently
- Maintaining accurate inventory across multi-tenant environments
- Securing devices without heavy agent overhead
Without robust device management:
- Shadow IT and rogue devices create major security holes.
- You can’t reliably apply least-privilege or session governance to unknown hosts.
- Onboarding new client devices becomes slow and error-prone.
- Compliance gaps appear when auditors ask about complete asset visibility.
UNISIGN solves this by acting as a secure broker layer on top of (or alongside) your existing RMM. It discovers new hosts intelligently and brings them under governed control quickly, while enrolled agents unlock the full power of Credential Vault, Just-In-Time Access, Governed Sessions, and immutable auditing.
Key advantages:
- Works across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments
- Strong multi-tenancy and per-client isolation
- Minimal performance impact (lightweight agents)
- Seamless tie-in with helpdesk tickets and AI automation
Bottom line: Device Management in UNISIGN gives you complete, always-up-to-date visibility and secure control over every host on the network — turning device sprawl into a governed, auditable asset inventory that supports fast, safe IT support operations.
