Endpoint Security

What Is Endpoint Security?

Endpoint security, also known as endpoint protection, is a cybersecurity approach to protecting endpoints from malicious activities, such as desktops, laptops, and mobile devices.

According to Gartner, an endpoint protection platform (EPP) is a solution used to “prevent file-based malware attacks, detect malicious activity, and provide the investigation and remediation capabilities needed to respond to dynamic security incidents and alerts.”

Why is endpoint security important?

According to a Gallup poll, the majority of US workers were working remotely in 2020, with 51% still working remotely in April 2021. The threats posed by endpoints and their sensitive data aren't going away anytime soon. Because every remote endpoint can be a point of attack, an endpoint security plan is critical, and the number of endpoints is only growing as the pandemic-related move to remote work accelerates.

Endpoint cyber attacks are difficult to defend against because they occur where humans and machines intersect. Businesses struggle to keep their systems secure without interfering with their workers' legitimate work. While technology solutions can be quite efficient, the risks of an employee falling victim to a social engineering attack can be minimized but never completely eliminated.

What’s considered an endpoint?

Endpoints can include devices that are more usually thought of, such as:

  • Mobile
  • Laptops
  • Tablets
  • Smartwatches
  • Internet of things (IoT) devices
  • Point-of-sale (POS) systems
  • Switches
  • Printers
  • Servers
  • Medical devices
  • ATM machines
  • Other devices that communicate with the central network

Why is endpoint security important?

A firewall is a network security system that monitors incoming and outgoing traffic and determines whether access should be granted or denied. Endpoint security safeguards data stored on the device, allowing the company to keep track of the activity and state of all of its employees devices at all times.

Businesses must also protect their networks and endpoints. By locking down open ports, controlling traffic, and utilizing intrusion detection and prevention services, enterprises may stop possible security risks at the network level. Businesses can use endpoint security to keep the devices that connect to a network safe. Organizations can prevent risks and detect suspicious activity no matter where employees are by making endpoints to the new network perimeter.

The best security solution is determined by each organization's current situation and security needs. The following are important factors to consider before making this decision:

  • The number of employees: Small organizations may find that a product that requires individual device management is sufficient. However, when they grow in size, IT and security teams may find it more difficult to control each device in this manner. As a result, installing a security solution that centralizes endpoint control will greatly increase their efficiency.
  • Employee location: Endpoint access management may not be a problem for businesses with workers who work from a single location. Employees working from home, remote offices, or on the go, on the other hand, will require an endpoint security solution that secures endpoints regardless of where or when they attempt to access their networks and resources.
  • Device ownership: The development of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) has blurred the barriers between device ownership. Employees are increasingly using their own devices to log in and out of corporate networks, and they must do so safely. Businesses can secure employees every time they sign in to their networks with an endpoint security solution, and access can be monitored at all times.
  • Data sensitivity: Antivirus software alone will not serve to protect high-value intellectual property or sensitive data, as it simply protects against infections. These businesses must use endpoint security solutions to protect themselves from data loss incidents, which pose a significant financial and reputational risk. This will help them protect their most sensitive data, comply with regulations, and pass audits.

How Endpoint Security works

Endpoint Security lets you search for and investigate known and unknown threats on tens of thousands of endpoints in minutes. It uses Dynamic Threat Intelligence to correlate alerts generated by Endpoint and Security products and log management. After validating a threat you can determine:

The ease and comfort of managing all endpoints from a single centralized management system allow for faster diagnosis and mitigation of real threats.
