Unmanaged endpoints such as contractor laptops, BYOD devices, and call center desktops pose ongoing risks since IT teams cannot enforce corporate security controls on them. Two-thirds of organizations report up to 20% of endpoints are unmanaged, while 70% allow BYOD and 29% struggle with support costs.
