Endpoint & Network Security

Home / Endpoint & Network Security
Endpoint security is the practice of safeguarding endpoints from unauthorized access and digital threats that can expose data or compromise the performance of the endpoint device. An endpoint refers to any device that receives a signal. In the context of business PC management, endpoints specifically refer to the devices that employee use every day to be productive, from desktops to laptops to tablets and smartphones. Endpoints can also refer to any Internet of Things (IoT) device including sensors and digital signage. However, this article will focus primarily on the business PC use case. A comprehensive endpoint security strategy will include hardware-enabled protections and remote management tools to help protect endpoints that connect to the corporate network.

Features and benefits

  • Protects your most valuable business assets – your data, your reputation and your business process continuity.
  • Ensures efficiency – it’s easy to implement and manage from a single console with unified policies.
  • Provides the best possible protection for customers, as proven by independent tests.
  • Fits into existing infrastructures.
Malware Prevention and Containment
Endpoint security solutions are designed to prevent, contain, or remediate malware infections and other endpoint security threats.
Machine Learning and AI
Endpoint security threats are rapidly evolving as cybercriminals develop new tools and techniques to bypass an organization’s defenses. This problem is exacerbated by the emergence of generative AI and its ability to streamline and expedite the development of malicious content.
Defense in Depth
Endpoint security controls should be designed and implemented using the principle of defense in depth. This helps to ensure that the failure of a single control or solution doesn’t place the organization at risk.
Network Access Management
An endpoint security program should incorporate defenses to ensure the organization’s IT infrastructure is protected against an infected or malicious endpoint. This includes the use of zero-trust network access (ZTNA) solutions to manage access to corporate resources and prevent non-compliant or infected endpoints from connecting to the corporate network.
Fundamentals of Endpoint Security
Endpoint security is focused on protecting the endpoint against a wide range of potential threats. An effective endpoint security program implements security across all of an organization’s endpoints, which requires certain capabilities.
