Hi, we’ve been seeing a lot of cases where devices slowly drift away from what we originally configured, apps getting removed, settings being changed, encryption getting turned off, etc.
Curious how others are handling this. Are you actively monitoring and fixing these, or relying on some form of self healing automation?

We used to handle it manually, but it didn’t scale at all.
What worked for us was shifting to a self-healing approach. Instead of chasing issues, we let the system detect when something changes and fix it automatically.
Same here. Once you start thinking in terms of drift, you realize how often it actually happens. Even with strict policies, users (or sometimes system updates) end up changing things. If there’s no continuous check, those devices just stay in a broken state.
Exactly. The biggest difference for us was enabling continuous compliance monitoring. Now when a device deviates, like a required app missing or a setting not matching, it gets flagged immediately and pulled back into compliance without any manual push.
That’s interesting. So you’re not really “tracking” issues anymore?
Not in the traditional sense. We still have visibility through reports, but we’re not spending time manually resolving every issue. The system handles most of it in the background.
+1 to that.
Once it’s set up right, devices rarely stay in a misconfigured state for long. That’s when you know the self-healing approach is actually working.
