Keep an Eye on Those Endpoints

Your network is made up of multiple entry points. These entry points are known as endpoints. They can be your trusty computers, smartphones, servers, or any other devices connected to your wifi or ethernet ports. It's important to be aware of the security status of these endpoints because they can be vulnerable to attacks when you least expect it, even if you primarily rely on cloud apps.

When a hacker breaches one of these endpoints, they don't just stop there. It becomes a gateway for them to access your valuable data and potentially infiltrate other endpoints or cloud services within your network. Shockingly, statistics show that about 64% of organizations have experienced the costly consequences of endpoint attacks. Perhaps you have already faced such a situation, or it might be waiting for you unless you take appropriate measures to protect your devices.

To safeguard your network, here are some foundational recommendations that you should consider implementing without delay…

Tackle password issues: Address any password-related problems promptly. Make sure to use strong, unique passwords and avoid reusing them across multiple accounts.

Deploy pre-boot malware protection: Utilize solutions that proactively detect and prevent malware before your operating system boots up, providing an added layer of security.

Keep your antivirus and anti-malware up to date: Regularly update your antivirus and anti-malware software to ensure that you have the latest protection against emerging threats.

Monitor device access: Be vigilant in monitoring the access to your devices, including those owned by employees. Implement proper access controls and permissions to minimize the risk of unauthorized entry.

Prepare for device loss or theft: Have a plan in place to address the potential loss or theft of devices. This could involve remote wiping capabilities, data encryption, or backup solutions to mitigate the impact of such incidents.

By taking these basic steps, you can significantly enhance the security of your network and reduce the likelihood of falling victim to endpoint attacks. Stay proactive and safeguard your valuable assets, data, and reputation!
