Protect Your Data from Cyber Threats | Endpoint & Ransomware Risks & Threats
Protecting your data from cyber threats should be your organization’s No. 1 priority. In today’s business world, data is the most valuable asset a company has, and losing or accessing that data could put the entire business at risk. Ransomware is malicious software that encrypts your data and demands payment to restore it. It usually infiltrates a system via an email attachment (or website infection) and always exploits existing vulnerabilities in the infrastructure.
Endpoint security systems protect endpoints on a network or in the cloud, i.e. users. These endpoints are devices connected to the corporate network via a wired, wireless or VPN network, such as corporate laptops, mobiles, tablets or Personal PCs/laptops/mobiles from home.
Technologies related to endpoint security are:
- Endpoint OS & Application Patching
- Endpoint AntiVirus/AntiMalware + Forensics (EDR)
- Sandbox protection against zero-day: unknown viruses, unknown web sites & unknown malicious code
- Dynamic protection for web access (web filtering)
- phishing emails
- application blocking / whitelisting
Endpoint security is the practice of protecting data and workflows associated with individual devices connected to your network. Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPPs) work by examining files as they enter the network.
This can help prevent the following risks:
- Email phishing / spear phishing
- Malware / malware / virus / ransomware
