Why Endpoint Security is Critical

Cybercriminals will always look for a creative and smart way to infect a system or a network. If you are currently using an antivirus solution to keep your network safe and secure, it is not enough. Antivirus is only one layer of security; a user needs an extra layer of protection against advanced malware strains. Protection that can manage an increasing number of malware attacks especially when users are moving to home offices and working remotely on the road. According to Statista.com, in the first half of 2022, the number of malware attacks worldwide reached 2.8 billion. 

Why endpoint security is critical?
As the sophistication of IT security threats has multiplied over the years, so has the need for more advanced endpoint security solutions. The threat landscape is becoming more complex, and cybercriminals are always looking up innovative ways to access, steal information or manipulate employees into giving out sensitive information. And so, endpoint security is critical for securing modern enterprises.

Visibility, Control, and Response
With organizations today being de-centralized and IoT-driven, a growing number of connected devices including work-from-home environments can be seen. Therefore, we need visibility, control, and the ability to provide a response to that need.

1. Visibility - Build the ability to identify people, devices, and applications

2. Control - Anyone attempting to access a resource must authenticate first with a strong authentication method

3. Response - Timely reaction to what is being identified as malicious

    

Security perimeter migration 

A decentralized network enables greater privacy as information is not passed through a single central server and instead passes through multiple devices.
