Endpoint Security & Compliance
Ensure your endpoints achieve the highest level of security with Secure Remote Worker
What is Endpoint Security?
Endpoint security is the securing of endpoint devices that act as gateways to corporate networks. Why secure endpoints? These endpoints can be vectors for attack by malicious code or potential points of data leakage, to maintain a compliant environment these devices must be secured.
Nowadays, with more advanced forms of malware and the embrace of BYOD attacks from malicious code and data leakage are big fears for IT security, meaning endpoint security has become a major focus for any IT department.
“Endpoint protection is the foundation, the simple first step that you should have in place regardless of what you do”
-Antti Tuomi, F-Secure

What constitutes good endpoint security?
Up-to-date security policies – in 2018 a whopping 93% of all breaches could have been avoided if basic cyber hygiene had been in place at the end-user level.
End-user lockdown
One cannot underestimate the risks unsecured devices pose to end users themselves and the environment, of the above 93%, 11% were directly as a result of there being no way to stop users negligent or malicious activities on the endpoint.
Resource control
Maintaining constant and complete control over end-user’s resources, ensuring they are not accessing programmes or sites that have not been vetted by the IT department.
Endpoint Management
Central management of your endpoints allows you to monitor and control devices across your estate, it is also important to keep applications, antivirus, and your endpoint’s operating systems up to date..
