If you are following GrassDewPanther's Cybersecurity news page over LinkedIn, you must have noticed many new Cyber attacks are increasing day by day. It is not the case for any specific region of country, it is happening world wide. There are many Cybersecurity areas which needs to be taken care by any home user or most importantly for any business / organization. One of key area is Endpoint Security.
What is Endpoint and Endpoint Security?
Any machine having operating system and connected in network or internet is known as Endpoint. For example - laptops, desktops or server machines are considered as Endpoint in Cybersecurity. Endpoint security or endpoint protection is an approach to the protection of computer networks that are remotely bridged to client devices. The connection of laptops, computers, tablets, mobile phones and other wireless devices to corporate networks creates attack paths for security threats.
Top Must Have Features of Endpoint Cybersecurity:
- Antivirus - It should have Antivirus software which is a program or set of programs that are designed to prevent, search for, detect, and remove software viruses, and other malicious software like worms, trojans, adware, and more.
- Data Loss Prevention - Now days most of cyber attacks are with the intention of ransomware attack where attackers encrypt data on computer or any machine. Once data is encrypted by attacker, mostly they ask for money to get decryption key.
Then also there is no guarantee that you will get your data. It is today's need to have end point protection which should secure confidential data and should prevent the leakage of business secrets to avoid losses. Data-at-rest can also be scanned on endpoints and removable devices.
3. Email Protection - Viruses can be detrimental to email systems, as well as to the other files and components within a organization's network. Once a virus has permeated an email server, there is almost no stopping the damage it can do to a technology infrastructure. Also there should be Content and Image Control facility. There must be facility to proactively block content based on pre-defined conditions. For example, it must prevent large images – either embedded or attached – from being received and negatively impacting email server traffic, or they can prohibit emails that contain offensive language or pictures from hitting company inboxes.
4. IDS / IPS Protection - End point protection must have advanced protection that proactively detects and prevents malicious activity which may exploit application vulnerabilities.
5. Firewall Protection - It must monitor inbound and outbound network traffic. Also, it should Allow/Disallow applications based on rules.
6. Phishing Protection - Phishing attacks that originate from malicious codes over the Internet are thwarted before they can enter the network and spread.
End point protection must have phishing protection for sure.
7. Browsing Protection - Endpoint clients can be safeguarded against attacks originating from malicious websites accessed from within the network.
8. Email and SMS Notifications - Notifications about critical network events can be preconfigured to reach appropriate parties via email or text messages. It really helps.
9. Vulnerability Scan - By scanning known vulnerabilities of applications and operating systems, such feature allows users to update necessary security patches.
10. Roaming Platform - Now days its common that most of employees have laptops which they carry with them to home or client meeting or onsite. End point protection updates and protection must be always working even if users are roaming. It can be with solution which is Cloud-based that can allow enterprises to manage endpoints at all times, even when they are out of the network. Admins must have control to view the latest status, apply policies, redirect clients and maintain compliance.
11. Asset Management - Endpoint protection must knew which hardware belong to an organization. Remember, vigilant monitoring of hardware and software configurations of every endpoint allows administrators to stay in-the-know of any alterations on company systems.
12. Spam Protection - It must scan your endpoint inboxes for spam, phishing attacks and unsolicited emails that sneak through network defenses.
13. Web Filtering - Many of employees can access data sharing website or even malicious / porn websites in office. It can really cause many issues to business. End point protection must have facility to block websites individually or as per categories to limit web access for employees.
14. Advanced Device Control - End point protection must have ability to configures device policies for various device types for Windows and Mac platforms to safeguard the network against unverified devices.
15. Application Control - It must enforce control over the use of unauthorized applications within the network. Many times even employees don't know they have certain applications which are running on their machine.
16. Tuneup - Instead of lots of manual efforts each day, it is important to have easy features to clean junk files and delete invalid registry/disk entries within the network for enhanced performance of endpoints.
17. File Activity Monitor - This protection should monitor confidential company files and notifies administrators when such files are copied, renamed or deleted. It helps to monitor data privacy in a way.
18. Patch Management - There must be a centralized patch management solution for all Microsoft application vulnerability patching needs if it is Microsoft operating system and so on.
