Endpoint management are backdoors that allow IT to monitor every file on disk, every network connection opened, every program run, and every action taken on a company-owned workstation, as well as allowing full control over the system including installing and removing programs; creating, editing, and deleting files; viewing what's happening on the screen; and shutting things down entirely if desired.
