To support that mission, its internal security teams need clear visibility across a large and diverse device fleet. + +Fleet gives the company a more consistent way to manage macOS, Windows, and eventually Linux from a single platform. + +## At a glance + +* **Industry:** Cybersecurity and identity management + +* **Devices managed:** ~550 Macs, 600+ Windows devices, and 800 iOS devices + +* **Primary requirements:** Cross-platform support, GitOps workflows, vulnerability management + +* **Previous challenge:** Inconsistent management across operating systems + +## The challenge + +Before Fleet, the company relied on separate tools for different operating systems. + +This made it difficult to maintain consistent inventory, auditing, and compliance workflows across devices. Linux and remote devices also remained harder to monitor, which created visibility gaps for the security team. + +The team wanted one platform that could support a true cross-platform strategy and fit into its existing security workflows. + +## The evaluation criteria + +The team focused on three capabilities: + +1. **Cross-platform support** + Manage Mac, Windows, and Linux with consistent depth. + +2. **GitOps workflows** + Manage security configuration through code and CI/CD pipelines. + +3. **Vulnerability management** + Use osquery for auditing, compliance checks, and remediation. + +## The solution + +Fleet allowed the team to manage software deployment and policy enforcement through GitHub-based workflows. + +Changes that were once manual can now be reviewed, approved, and deployed through CI/CD. Fleet’s audit logs and activity feed also give the team a clearer record of administrative actions, which supports accountability and trust across security engineering teams. + +Telemetry data can also be streamed into the company’s SIEM and log aggregation tools for broader threat monitoring. + +## The results + +Fleet gives the company a more complete view of its security posture across operating systems. + +* **Unified device visibility:** Security teams no longer need to switch between tools to understand device state. + +* **Faster vulnerability response:** Live queries make it easier to identify and prioritize compliance failures. + +* **More automation:** Software version updates and policy enforcement now fit into existing GitOps workflows. + +## Why Fleet + +For this company, the biggest benefit is unified management. + +Fleet helps the team manage multiple operating systems with more consistency, better visibility, and deeper security telemetry. + +## About Fleet + +Fleet is the single endpoint management platform for macOS, iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, and cloud infrastructure. Trusted by over 1,300 organizations, Fleet empowers IT and security teams to accelerate productivity, build verifiable trust, and optimize costs. + +By bringing infrastructure-as-code (IaC) practices to device management, Fleet ensures endpoints remain secure and operational, freeing engineering teams to focus on strategic initiatives. + +Fleet offers total deployment flexibility: on-premises, air-gapped, container-native (Docker and Kubernetes), or cloud-agnostic (AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean). Organizations can also choose fully managed SaaS via Fleet Cloud, ensuring complete control over data residency and legal jurisdiction. + + + + + + + +
