Endpoint Protection is a cybersecurity measure that protects laptop and mobile devices from various threats that can compromise the security of the device and the network to which it is connected. Tethering these devices to the network and cloud increases the risk of crossover threats, which can compromise sensitive information and disrupt business operations.
Endpoint Protection
Protecting the Device
Anti-Virus & Malware
Antivirus software is designed to detect and remove viruses and other malware from a device. It works by scanning the device’s files and identifying any that match the signature of known malware.
Many endpoint security software solutions include a database of known malware signatures, which allows them to identify and block malware based on its unique characteristics.
Behavioral Analysis
Some endpoint security software uses behavioral analysis to identify malware based on its actions rather than its characteristics. This can help protect against new, unknown malware that has not yet been added to the signature database.
Not every company can dedicate time to researching new threats, and have to rely on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to scale efforts.
Sandboxing
A technique that allows software to run in a simulated environment, isolated from the rest of the system, Sandboxing can be used to safely run suspicious files or programs to determine if they are malicious.
Anywhere a user can open a file is a potential risk. A thorough analysis of your risk can identify the layers of protection needed at the endpoint.
Endpoint cybersecurity software can prevent these threats by providing a range of security measures such as antivirus protection, firewall protection, and network security management. It can also provide monitoring and detection of suspicious activity, as well as remediation and response to any security breaches that may occur. By implementing Endpoint Protection, businesses can ensure the security and integrity of their networks and protect against costly security breaches.
