What are endpoints? What actually threatens them? Why do you need a next-generation endpoint security solution? Actually, what does \u201cnext-generation\u201d even mean in this context? <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The editors at Solutions Review decided to help you answer those question in one convenient article. Afterward, we hope you\u2019ll have all the information you\u2019ll need to make the right solution decision for your enterprise. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let\u2019s get started! <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>What are Endpoints? <\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At its core, endpoint security concerns itself with protecting your endpoints. These compromise of any device connecting your network\u2014not just the devices explicitly located on your business premises. These can include laptops, old-school tower desktops, <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/how-to-improve-your-mobile-endpoint-security-in-your-enterprise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mobile devices<\/a>, and the Internet of Things (IoT) devices. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each device requires a minimum level of protection to ensure its safety in the digital marketplace. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Why Should You Protect Your Endpoints?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Endpoints serve as the gateways into your enterprise network. Everything begins at the endpoint: each login occurs at the endpoint, and users interact with your most valuable and sensitive databases through their endpoints. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Therefore, each device can serve as a stepping stone for hackers into your larger network and to your digital assets. Furthermore, each endpoint can contain valuable data and customer information in its own right. An attack on a single endpoint can constitute a major breach. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adding to your worries, more endpoints connecting to your network results in a larger attack surface; larger enterprises are thus more vulnerable to an endpoint-targeted attack. Therefore, your enterprise must make improving your visibility on,\u00a0and of, your endpoints a high priority, regardless of your size. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>How Can Hackers Threaten Your Endpoints?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now that you know the importance of protecting your endpoints, you need to understand what threats they face every day. After all, you cannot protect against what you can\u2019t anticipate. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We can\u2019t begin to cover all of the possible digital threats your business might face in the daily digital world; we\u2019d never be able to stop. Instead, we present a few of the most common and most pressing forms. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Business Email Compromises\/Phishing<\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The prime method through which employees interact with other endpoints and with other actors (both normal and malicious) is through their email account. Therefore, hackers work to weaponize emails through business email compromises (BECs) or phishing. The former often deliver malicious payloads which can contain any number of disparate threats. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, phishing, in particular, proves a serious peril. These emails present themselves as legitimate messages from enterprise supervisors and administrators, third-party communications, or urgent financial institution warnings. Without proper training, employees may never second these messages and hand over their credentials to them\u2014exactly as intended. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Ransomware<\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hackers can, through malware called ransomware, hold entire endpoints or network hostage for payment (often in some kind of cryptocurrency). They can also hold sensitive files hostage, allowing the victims to use the rest of their endpoint but depriving them of the ability to complete their jobs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ransomware can prove difficult to remove, as hackers can trigger file destruction for nonpayment or removal attempts. But paying the ransom doesn\u2019t guarantee your safety; hackers can always leave themselves a backdoor to do it again at a later day. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Cryptocurrency Mining Malware<\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A new player in the hacking world, cryptocurrency mining malware (sometimes also called cryptojacking) subtly exploits where ransomware blatantly attacks. It uses endpoints\u2019 natural processes to mine (a kind of calculation-for-pay) cryptocurrency for hackers\u2019 benefits; this can significantly reduce your endpoints\u2019 processing power and cost you a significant amount in electricity consumption. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Zero-Day Attacks<\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once in a while, hackers find a security vulnerability vendors or manufacturers have not yet detected or patched. These become zero-day exploits, as hackers essentially catch their opponents off-guard. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>How Should You Protect Your Endpoints? <\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many enterprises believe their current <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/why-next-gen-antivirus-isnt-enough-for-your-enterprise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">antivirus<\/a> program protects them adequately against modern threats. However, this is not the case. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019ve had the same kind of antivirus program for a while, it may no longer offer the same levels of protections it did previously. These solutions, called legacy antivirus, often have a lot of perks. Most likely, your enterprise is familiar with them, and most if not all of your endpoints already carry it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, as we\u2019ve stated before, these legacy antivirus solutions just can\u2019t keep up with modern cyber attacks. Often, they can\u2019t detect <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/fileless-malware-attacks-the-threat-of-the-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fileless malware<\/a>, a new kind of attack which evades traditional detection methods. Many antivirus solutions don\u2019t receive the same level of updates they once did, so they may have security vulnerabilities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your enterprise should instead select a next-generation endpoint security solution. Next-generation here means it is modern and capable of handling modern threats. In addition, it contains certain key capabilities, usually including: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Honeypots<\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A fake server which can only be accessed by hacking. It gives hackers false information to deceive them while security teams work to close the security hole which allowed them in. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Sandboxing<\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another fake IT environment, this one allows IT security teams to simulate the network and see how a suspicious program will behave. If it is malicious, it gives them an opportunity to safely remove it. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) <\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/enterprise-can-get-your-edr-right\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EDR<\/a> allows endpoint security to detect threats which penetrated the network and alert security teams. As the digital perimeter expands to accommodate the cloud and mobile endpoints, this feature becomes ever more important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><div class=\"hr hr\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You endpoints\u2019 security is in your hands.
