In today’s rapidly changing IT landscape, organizations rely on Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solutions to secure, monitor, and control enterprise devices. However, many businesses continue to use On-Premise MDM solutions that have reached or are nearing end-of-life (EOL)—putting their security, compliance, and operational efficiency at serious risk.

While some organizations are considering cloud-based MDM alternatives, migrating to the cloud isn’t the right fit for everyone. The key is not just whether to move, but how to ensure your MDM environment remains secure, compliant, and future-ready.

This paper outlines the risks of running an EOL MDM/UEM system and provides a structured risk assessment framework to help IT leaders evaluate their exposure and develop a mitigation strategy.
