YOUR COMPANY ’ S ENDPOINTS ARE SURROUNDED BY CYBER THREATS

CLOSE THE GAP IN DEVICE SECURITY

This is the new reality you live in . You ’ re constantly fighting off cybercriminals who are always looking for the easiest way to gain control of your company ’ s sensitive data , and unprotected endpoints have become one of their favorite attack vectors . Are you maintaining a set of security policies to protect all your endpoints from attack ? Is your organization keeping up-to-date with applying these policies to all intelligent , connected devices across the network ? If you ’ re kept up at night thinking about the breadth of security challenges , from users to infrastructure , you ’ re not alone . You can ’ t control how people act , but you can control the risk posture of your organization and the followthrough of your security policies .
ENDPOINTS ARE A KEY TARGET
In 2018 , there was a 17 percent increase in the number of companies compromised by attacks originating from an endpoint , according to a study by the Ponemon Institute and Barkly . This fact shouldn ’ t come as a surprise – endpoint devices often go under-secured , because many organizations assume their networked devices are protected by a firewall .
Printers are more vulnerable than the average endpoint , because they are attached to the corporate network and accessed by many users . • www . intelligentcio . com INTELLIGENTCIO
