Endpoints have grown in number and geographical spread, resulting in the attack surface of an organisation growing as well. Endpoints are the vulnerable extremities of any business network. These laptops, phones and devices sit delicately in the hands of the user, subject to the sharp end of human error. In order to fully protect the network, these exposed entry points for attack need to be shielded in the most robust way possible.

Cyber criminals frequently target poorly protected endpoints as a means of gaining access to a company’s IT network. It only has to happen once, but when in, the attack become viral, seizing control of the entire network and causing potentially untold damage to a business, its network and not to mention, its reputation.

“A major implication of this new way of working has therefore been a substantial rise in the number of devices and endpoints, offering numerous pathways into organisations’ systems.”

SD-WAN (Software Defined Wide Area Network) solutions let you finally seize control of every aspect of your network. Centralised network management allows a business to standardise configurations, enforce security policy and utilise multiple connection types intelligently. Ultimately, this ensures WAN optimisation with secure network and application performance for users and their devices.

Detecting and responding to threats at the endpoint

Lack of visibility in to policy and regulatory compliance

Centralised management of end point security configuration

With many Endpoints being used both in and outside of traditional office based security, having visibility to detect and respond to threats on the Endpoint has become vital. AI-based analysis of suspicious behaviour blended with global threat intelligence provides a comprehensive method of detecting malicious activity.  Having predefined action based on the type of activity detected reduces response time and minimises the impact and cost of an attack.

Are your internal policies being followed? Do you meet your regulatory requirements? Are you sure?

Meet compliance standards and regulations by providing all the data and information needed to underpin any legal, internal or forensic investigations. This insight moves with you, ensuring your policies evolve as your business develops and as the threat landscape changes.

In a dispersed working world, centralised management of Endpoints is critical to ensure devices can be maintained and secured. Retrieving files from Endpoints for further analysis and investigation, directly accessing Endpoints to view, delete, move, or download files and enforcing configuration through centrally managed policies. These are all capabilities you should have available.

You may be an organisation who has a distributed workforce, spread out across multiple sites, using multiple devices. You may also rely on a host of internet connected devices and equipment just to get product out of the door. In any case, these endpoints act as a potential route in to your network for hackers and other threat actors

Unless your roadmap is to invest in creating a 24/7 in-house cyber security team and SOC, then it’s worth us having a conversation about how we can help ensure your endpoints are locked up as tightly as possible and safe from surreptitious activity.
