Endpoint resiliency is an essential component of cybersecurity strategies, as compromised credentials can be used to establish a beachhead on an end-user endpoint, leading to the exfiltration of corporate data.
Today’s Cyberattack Lifecycle
Cyberattacks are often front-ended by credential harvesting campaigns, which use social engineering techniques, password sniffers, phishing campaigns, digital scanners, malware attacks, or any combination of these. Organizations are increasingly relying on mobile devices, home computers, and laptops to connect to company networks. Security tools like data loss prevention, disk and endpoint encryption, endpoint detection and response, and anti-virus or anti-malware are deployed to protect endpoints. However, security tools are typically working effectively on less than 80 percent of devices, and in some cases, the number is as low as 35 percent. Additionally, more than 76 percent of enterprise devices contain sensitive data, making them a target for hackers.
Boosting Endpoint Resilience
Security professionals must make each endpoint resilient to ensure successful defense strategies, unlike traditional network security.
To counteract human error, malicious actions, and decayed, insecure software, Forrester Research recommends taking a proactive approach to endpoint security and establishing endpoint resilience by:
Organizations should consider resilience when modernizing endpoint management strategies.
