The Device Management Challenge in 2026
Today’s workplace is more digital than ever. But with digital growth comes complexity.
Here are the biggest hurdles IT teams face:
- Device sprawl: Too many devices, no easy way to track them all.
- Security risks: Unmanaged devices are open doors for hackers and data leaks.
- Compliance headaches: Industries demand strict control over data and devices.
- Remote work complexity: Managing devices across different regions and networks requires flexible rules.
- Operational slowdowns: Manual onboarding and off‑boarding waste precious IT time.
In short — businesses need a smarter, faster, and more scalable way to manage devices.
Zoho Directory: Your 2026 Device Management Solution
1. Centralized Device & Identity Control
Zoho Directory combines identity management with device authentication. You can enroll Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices, assign them to staff, and revoke access instantly — all from one dashboard. This means no more silos and no more guesswork.
2. Strong Security & Access Governance
Features like Single Sign‑On (SSO), Multi‑Factor Authentication (MFA), and device authentication keep access points secure. You can even set conditional access policies based on device status, location, or network — locking out threats before they can act.
3. Compliance‑Ready Tools
With detailed device and user‑activity reports, audits become easy. Admins can spot outdated devices, track usage, and ensure compliance without extra hassle.
4. Efficiency Gains
Automated provisioning, lifecycle management, and device reassignment cut down on manual work, making onboarding and off‑boarding fast and error‑free.
