Discover why endpoint security is crucial in today's world of cyber security. Learn how our comprehensive solutions can mitigate risk.
What is considered an Endpoint?
An endpoint is any device connected to a network that is the last location, or ending point, for a data transfer.
Workstations
Laptops
Smartphones
Tablets
Internet of Things (IoT) devices/sensors
Wearables, like smartwatches
The role of Endpoint Security:
Historically, endpoint security solutions protected devices from being infected with a virus, like malware or ransomware.
In today’s hyper-connected IT ecosystem, endpoint security needs to be more than virus/malware protection.
Anti-virus
Mobile device management tools
Pop-up blockers
Data access controls
Why are companies struggling with their Endpoint Security?
Endpoint security is more challenging to manage than ever before. The explosion of devices connected to a corporate network makes it difficult to control every single one of them. Companies may not be able to identify all endpoints. Additionally, with so many devices connected to a network, maintaining endpoint security protections becomes difficult.
Key features an organisation should look for in Endpoint Protection:
As you look to mature your cyber program placing more robust endpoint security protections in place can mitigate risk. Today’s endpoint security platforms offer more than antivirus protection.
How do our Threat360 Reports help with your Endpoint Security?
Threat360 security ratings enables organisations to see the bigger picture.
Our security ratings platform provides visibility into your company’s cybersecurity posture and your supply stream’s security for a holistic understanding of risk.
Our platform uses an easy-to-read A-F rating system across 10 areas of risk including endpoint security, network security, and patching cadence. See our website for further
details.
How does Threat360 measure the level of Endpoint Security?
The Endpoint Security Module tracks identification points that are extracted from metadata related to the operating system, web browser, and related active plugins. The information gathered allows companies to identify outdated versions of these data points which can lead to client-side exploitation attacks.
