In the initial days of the internet,
when companies newly started using computing technologies, the local
network had a very rigid perimeter. Servers and repositories were
physically present in the same office. Today, due to a massive shift to
cloud hosting, SaaS,
and the ongoing pandemic, the situation has turned 180 degrees. The
organizational workforce, partners, and vendors are connected to
enterprise networks remotely from their devices.
These remotely connected personal devices pose a cybersecurity risk that malicious attackers can take advantage of to rob corporate data. According to research by Check Point, throughout 2021, the weekly average of ransomware attacks focused on company networks expanded by 50% in comparison to 2020. It is now critical for businesses to deploy robust endpoint security solutions that protect their data stored across endpoints.
What Is Endpoint Security?
Endpoint security is the method of protecting endpoint devices such as desktops, laptops, mobile phones, and tablets from cyberattacks. These endpoints are the gate to access the organization’s network which can then be used by malicious attackers for cyberattacks.
