Protect Your Cyber-Security with an Endpoint Security System

The network devices act as endpoints. These devices are allowed to access the wider network to which they belong to, only after there is compliance with some form of security policies, ensuring strict adherence to these policies.

The Endpoint Security System will create such a system that blocks the access to these network devices, when they fail to meet the security criteria. Generally, the Endpoint Security software is placed at a Gateway location, on the server and successfully scans all the devices, before they enter into the system. Prevention is always better than cure. So, these network devices are blocked much before they actually enter the network. There is significant damage control, even before it actually happens.

Why do we need an Endpoint Security?

If you undertake effective preventive measures, it is always a better solution than an action that is taken against any possible form of threat. You need to decide on your priorities before the virus even creates a messy situation, around your network. Better be prepared of any eventualities and start using your Endpoint Security system.

Reduction of the attacking surface

Restrictions are imposed on allowing the running of applications, the connection of system as well as the actions that are taken by the system, thereby reducing the possible points of infection. The policies that are implemented for the Endpoint Security are beneficial in the reduction of the infection surface, particularly for the more sensitive surfaces as well as the single-user endpoints.

Browser plug-in must be patched

The attackers must not be able to take advantage of the vulnerabilities in the Adobe Reader/Acrobat/Flash or the Microsoft internet Explorer.

P2P Usage are blocked

Malware is mostly distributed with the peer-to-peer P2P networks or the shared files. A P2P policy is needed, enforcement of the policy happens at the gateway and also the application and device control (ADC) component of the Endpoint Security system is implemented at the desktop.

Apply the OS patches

There are many threats that originate only by taking advantage of the vulnerabilities in the operations system, from Microsoft and the Apple. These vendors continuously bring service packs, security patches and hot fixes and mend the defects in their operating systems. These patches are effective in making your system invulnerable for your Endpoint Management System.
