# Operating systems - Stability, security, and compliance

## Overview <a href="#operatingsystems-stability-security-andcompliance-overview" id="operatingsystems-stability-security-andcompliance-overview"></a>

Monitor and manage your different Operating Systems to ensure they remain stable, compliant, and performant.

## Problem <a href="#operatingsystems-stability-security-andcompliance-problem" id="operatingsystems-stability-security-andcompliance-problem"></a>

Managing multiple operating systems in an IT landscape is extremely challenging, requiring constant OS updates, device migrations, and system patching across thousands of devices. Endpoint (Intune, SCCM, JAMF, etc) management tools can help but are still susceptible to 'blind spots' from faulty agents preventing devices from receiving critical updates or patches, leading to performance and compatibility issues, as well as compromising the security of a device.

Service Desk teams are left having to fix too many compliance-related tickets while security teams remain blind to potential security threats.

## Solution <a href="#operatingsystems-stability-security-andcompliance-solution" id="operatingsystems-stability-security-andcompliance-solution"></a>

Access an all-in-one, real-time view of the overall compliance state of your OS landscape, combining both Windows and macOS, and across their different versions. Cross-check the compatibility, stability, and versioning of OS patches and updates across different manufacturers to identify any devices at risk before they can become a problem for your employees and your organization.

## Key features <a href="#operatingsystems-stability-security-andcompliance-keyfeatures" id="operatingsystems-stability-security-andcompliance-keyfeatures"></a>

* Detailed dashboards to monitor the performance, stability, and compliance of the OS landscape.
* Real-time visibility into endpoint security applications and OS versioning status.
* Dynamic filters to segment data across location, platform, OS type, and OS build.
* DEX scores to identify and drill down into the source of application or hardware issues.
* Monitoring of OS versioning compliance and presence of security applications.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nexthink.com/platform/~/changes/Sh4xqs4GDClkDKT9Hvux/library-packs/operating-systems/operating-systems-stability-security-and-compliance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
