Endpoint Security
Because your devices no longer sit behind a castle wall
In security-speak, computers and mobile devices are referred to as endpoints. Endpoint security is a concept where each endpoint is responsible for its own security and that remotely connecting to the network creates a potential entry point for security threats.
Endpoint Security came into being due to a shift in what is considered a network’s perimeter. More people are using remote access methods to connect to corporate networks from a myriad of locations and devices.
All this mobility means the network perimeter is no longer defined. That makes it impossible for centralized security devices to completely protect computers. Security of Endpoints supplements the effort, allowing computers to help defend themselves and the network from proliferating malware and intrusions.
There are a myriad of solutions that protect, interrogate and audit endpoints to protect, determine the security posture and forensically analyse breaches of those endpoints.
Working out what solutions are right for you can be difficult. The Australian Signals Directorate has compiled a list of Cyber Security Mitigation strategies to help Agencies and businesses alike determine the most appropriate and effective strategies they can implement. Some of these strategies that address endpoints include application whitelisting, patching applications and operating systems, restriction of privileges, device control, vulnerability scanning and assessments, antivirus and more.
Determining where your weakest security points are, the most likely targets for cyber criminals or insider threats and the ease or difficulty of malicious actors accessing those targets will help you determine what mitigation strategies are the most effective for your organisation.
