What should your enterprise do to prepare itself against the incoming onslaught of attacks of malware and other attacks?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let\u2019s face the harsh reality: the new year (and new decade) won\u2019t change the risk you face from hackers and insider threats. If anything, hackers look to become more brazen in their attacks\u2014more destructive and more far-reaching than ever before. Threat actors develop and evolve their malware attacks to evade once-effective detection capabilities and dwell for longer. Of course, the longer malware lingers on your network the more damage it does and the more costly the mitigation.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"widget\"><div class=\"aside-card\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a class=\"iam-inject\" href=\"https:\/\/suggestionengine.solutionsreview.com\/buyer\/signup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1682\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/files\/2021\/02\/Identity_Suggestion_Engine_Horiz_800.gif\" alt=\"IAM Solution Suggestion Engine\" width=\"800\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, even the most inexperienced of threat actors can purchase malware from the Dark Web; in other words, your organization will need to protect itself from incoming threats at all times. There is no such thing as a minor threat in cybersecurity\u2014not anymore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But before your business can begin enforcing its cybersecurity policies, it needs to identify the endpoint security challenges facing it in 2020. After all, how can you defend against what you don\u2019t understand or what you can\u2019t see? You can\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Therefore, we present the top five endpoint security challenges of 2020.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>The Top 5 Endpoint Security Challenges of 2020<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>1. Internet of Things (IoT)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No list of endpoint security challenges in 2020 can exclude the Internet of Things. Gartner predicts IoT devices will only grow in the coming decade, becoming a fixture of enterprise networks. Unfortunately, IoT devices pose difficult challenges to cybersecurity practices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, most IoT manufacturers don\u2019t build their products with any sort of cybersecurity protections. Second, those that do install cybersecurity often fail to patch them or makes patching a tedious, frustratingly obtuse process. Third, IoT devices can vanish from traditional endpoint monitoring capabilities, turning them into ideal blindspots for hackers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, some experts worry that nation-state actors may intentionally plant backdoors into IoT devices for future exploits. Only time can tell if this worrying prediction comes true.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>2. New Kinds of Malware Threats<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Classically, <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/free-endpoint-protection-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cybersecurity<\/a> works to repel malware. While it has since evolved into something much intricate\u2014next-generation endpoint security now provides Data Loss Prevention (DLP), application control, port control, and endpoint detection and response (EDR)\u2014it still needs to figure malware attacks into its calculus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the prime endpoint security challenges facing businesses in 2020 is the evolution of malware. We already discussed the rising concerns over Malware-as-a-Service, but it extends further than that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, we need to address fileless malware. These attacks don\u2019t operate like traditional malware; usually, malware downloads a file onto the victim\u2019s network through which they enact their malicious code. By contrast, fileless malware hijacks the native processes of endpoints to run their malicious code. This makes it difficult to detect by legacy capabilities and terrifyingly effective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, fileless malware looks to grow in the coming year and decade. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency mining malware appears to be experiencing a downward trend in usage, it still constitutes a threat to your processing power and electrical bills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yet we all know which kind of malware will prove itself the most dangerous in the coming year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>3. Ransomware\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hackers always come back to ransomware. Perhaps this shouldn\u2019t surprise anyone. While it can draw the wrong sort of attention to the threat actors, it generally succeeds. Enterprises continue to pay the ransom\u2014even the FBI recognizes enterprises may need to pay to avoid IT downtime. This incentivizes hackers to continue the attacks and refine them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Among concerns, some industries and verticals are especially vulnerable to ransomware. Government networks often lack the funding, resources, or protections necessary to defend against ransomware; in fact, we can see evidence of this in last year\u2019s wave of local government cyber-attacks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2020, ransomware looks poised to attack organizations\u2019 cloud-environments, which poses a new challenge to IT migration. Additionally, McAfee predicts threat actors may begin using pre-infected machines and greater exploitation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>4. Patching<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trying to keep up with patches should occupy enterprise IT security teams of all sizes. Deploying timely patches on every endpoint connecting to your network can help maintain a digital perimeter; each patch contains vital threat intelligence which helps to recognize and repel attackers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, the challenges enterprises face in 2020 is keeping up with all the patches across all endpoints. Hackers evolve threat and discover vulnerabilities quickly, requiring patches which match that speed. This is no mean feat given the stress most security teams deal through their workdays (and often after they end).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>5. Recognizing Everyone is a Target<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here\u2019s the hardest lesson in cybersecurity: every business could end up as a target. Yes, every single one. It doesn\u2019t matter if you own a small bakery in Kansas or a Fortune 500 company\u2014threat actors could be after you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sure, large businesses could offer hackers the most lucrative payoffs. However, they can also count on small-to-medium-sized-businesses (SMBs) having fewer IT protections and staff to handle an incident. After all, a few smaller guaranteed payments instead of a larger possible payout can attract the unscrupulous and patient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, the stakes of a data breach are considerably higher than SMBs than for large enterprises. True, large enterprises can and do suffer consequences from data breaches; they could pay millions in fines and deal with the fallout with customers; customers tend not to patronize businesses that suffer from data breaches.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, studies indicate a majority or plurality of SMBs outright close within six months of a data breach. The consequences have never been higher for organizations of any size.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>What You Need to Face Endpoint Security Challenges in 2020<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Next-generation endpoint security solutions can help your enterprise deal with the new future of cybersecurity. Its key capabilities include next-generation antivirus, EDR, and application control, all of which are absolutely necessary to enterprises of all sizes. Also, endpoint security can assist in patch management and deployment through a centralized portal. You need every tool at your disposal to face the incoming deluge of attacks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now\u2019s the time to prepare.
