End Point Protection for Your Organization

With the ever-evolving threat landscape, cybersecurity is something that can neither be taken lightly nor ignored. This statement holds true irrespective of the size of your business. Although from a marketing perspective, every type of publicity is a good publicity, you would definitely not want your company to come into the headlines for a data breach. In order to level up your defence and enhance your organizational security, a good place is to start from the existing endpoints in your technical infrastructure.

According to this infographic by Barkly, 3 out of 4 organizations have reported more difficulty in managing risks related to endpoint devices.

On the similar lines, we have observed that majority of organizations struggle in dealing with endpoint security during our discussions and meetings. In order to ease the process and simplify it, here are a few questions that you must ask before implementing an endpoint security solution or availing the services of an EDR (endpoint detection and response) vendor -

1. Why do you need to invest in an endpoint security solution?

2. What are the inbuilt components in the concerned endpoint security solution?

An endpoint security solution can have components such as -

  • Antimalware
