Open-source organization manages 1,556 devices with real-time compliance
A global open-source software organization managing a fleet of over 1,500 devices required a solution that respected privacy and offered equal depth for Mac, Windows, and Linux.
At a glance
- Endpoints: 1,556 (Mac, Windows, and Linux).
- Primary requirement: True multi-OS support and open-source core.
- Key integrations: Splunk and Google BigQuery.
- Previous solution: Legacy tools that treated Linux as a "second-class citizen".
The challenge:
The team lacked a unified solution for remote wipe and deep logging across their diverse OS environment. Linux servers and BYOD units were major blind spots with limited compliance visibility.
The solution
Fleet’s open-source nature aligned with their organizational values, easing cultural acceptance and reducing pushback on MDM adoption. They used GitOps and osquery to implement real-time compliance checks as code.
The results
- Minutes vs. days: Response times to new vulnerabilities shifted from days to minutes through real-time visibility and targeted patching.
- Automated reporting: The team uses the API to programmatically track fleet-maintained app versions and patch compliance.
- Unified ecosystem: Streaming telemetry into Splunk and BigQuery allowed them to correlate endpoint events with broader infrastructure logs.
