Automating IT Security: How Pligence Connect Saves Time and Strengthens Protection
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, IT teams are overwhelmed with security threats, compliance requirements, and the constant need for system updates. Managing these responsibilities manually is time-consuming, error-prone, and often ineffective. Pligence Connect changes the game by automating IT security, allowing organizations to streamline security operations, enforce policies efficiently, and reduce risks—all while saving valuable time.
This blog will explore how Pligence Connect automates key IT security functions, the benefits of automation, and why businesses should move away from manual security management. If your organization is still relying on traditional IT security approaches, by the end of this article, you’ll see why automation isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity.
The Problem with Manual IT Security Management
Before we dive into how Pligence Connect automates IT security, let’s first understand the challenges of manual security management. Many companies, especially those with remote or hybrid workforces, struggle with:
1. Time-Consuming Security Updates
Security patches and software updates are critical for protecting devices from vulnerabilities. However, when IT teams manually push updates, they often face delays, missed patches, and potential security breaches. This issue is even more pronounced in organizations with hundreds or thousands of endpoints.
2. Human Errors in Policy Enforcement
When security policies are manually enforced, IT teams rely on checklists, emails, and user compliance—which increases the risk of oversights and misconfigurations. A single missed setting can expose a company to malware, data breaches, or compliance violations.
3. Device and Application Management Bottlenecks
Managing corporate devices, applications, and access permissions is an ongoing task. When done manually, it leads to:
4. Slow Incident Response Times
Security incidents—such as a lost device, a malware infection, or an unauthorized login—require an immediate response. But manual response processes often mean:
5. Compliance and Reporting Challenges
Regulatory compliance is a growing concern for businesses across industries. IT teams must ensure encryption standards, log user activity, and provide security reports—a time-consuming tasks when done manually.
How Pligence Connect Automates IT Security
Pligence Connect eliminates these challenges by automating security tasks, policy enforcement, and incident response. Let’s break down exactly how it does this.
1. Automated Security Updates and Patch Management
Pligence Connect’s Update Manager ensures all operating systems (OS) and applications are up to date without requiring manual intervention. This means: Security patches are deployed automatically across all devices IT teams can schedule updates during non-business hours No risk of employees postponing or skipping updates
Example: A company with 500 employees doesn’t have to track individual device updates. Pligence Connect automatically pushes the latest patches, ensuring compliance and reducing vulnerabilities.
2. Policy Enforcement Without Manual Oversight
Pligence Connect allows IT teams to define security policies for:
Once these policies are set, they are automatically enforced across all enrolled devices. If a user tries to disable security settings, Pligence Connect blocks the action and notifies IT—eliminating manual intervention.
Example: If an employee disables encryption on their mobile device, Pligence Connect immediately re-enables encryption, logs the event, and notifies the IT team.
3. Automated App and Device Management
Pligence Connect streamlines: Application approvals – Only authorized apps are installed Device onboarding – New devices are configured automatically Geofencing security – Devices outside a specific location trigger security action
This means IT teams don’t have to manually monitor every device, reducing workload and improving security posture.
Example: A field technician’s work tablet is automatically configured with approved apps, network settings, and security policies upon enrollment—without IT intervention.
4. Instant Security Threat Detection and Response
When security threats arise, Pligence Connect doesn’t wait for IT to react immediately.
If a device is lost, it can automatically:
If malware is detected, Pligence Connect can:
If an unauthorized login is detected, the system can:
Example: An employee reports their phone being stolen. Instead of waiting for IT to investigate, Pligence Connect locks the device instantly, preventing data theft.
5. Automated Compliance Reporting
Compliance reporting is typically a major time drain for IT teams, but Pligence Connect:
Instead of manually compiling compliance data, IT teams can export ready-made reports—saving hours of work.
Example: A company undergoing a security audit can immediately generate compliance reports instead of manually collecting device logs.
