Endpoint Security

Security threats have become part of the daily news landscape in 2016: ransomware attacks on hospitals and investment banks; geopolitical attacks on the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign; financial attacks on the Swift banking system; and critical infrastructure attacks that took down the Ukrainian power grid.

As our businesses, governments and personal lives become more and more digital, we continue to be under attack from many different vectors – and many of the attacks start (directly or indirectly) with malware targeting endpoints.

The pace and sophistication of these new threats is daunting. In 2015, Symantec reported more than 430 million new pieces of malware – that’s more than one million new malware variants on a daily basis. Further, in coming years even more formidable number is expected, as zero-day attacks accelerate and ransomware introduces a profit motive into the equation. These attacks are designed to enter the enterprise environment from many different vectors, making the endpoint ever more vulnerable and thus more essential to protect.

The only proper response to this rapidly worsening threat landscape is to innovate and integrate more defense mechanisms across multiple control points.

Endpoint protection requires quick analysis of threats in real time: evaluating files based on their attributes (static), how they behave (dynamic) and their global context (reputation). The security layers themselves are comprised of both proven and emerging technologies working seamlessly at the endpoint, including analysis of files, reputation and behavior along with firewall, intrusion prevention and exploit prevention.
