What’s considered an endpoint?

Any device connected to a network is considered an endpoint. With more and more organizations utilizing bring-your-own-device (BYOD) arrangements, the amount of individual devices connected to an organization can add up quickly.

Each device is an entry point for malware and threats, and mobile endpoints have become so much more than just an iPhone or an Android- think smart watches, voice-controlled digital assistants like Alexa, printers, and even smart appliances in your office. Network-connected sensors can be found in cars, hospitals, planes, and as these endpoints have expanded and evolved, endpoint protection has had to adapt.

According to IBM’s “Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023,” $4.45 million is the cost of the average data breach. Because endpoints exist at the intersections between humans and devices, it can be a challenge to secure without the right protocol in place.

How does endpoint protection work?

Endpoint protection works as a comprehensive defense mechanism, safeguarding individual devices such as computers, laptops, and smartphones from a myriad of cyber threats. It provides a centralized platform to monitor and investigate network incidents and each device can be connected via a single application. This application control then blocks unauthorized or unsafe applications which prevents data loss from malware or other threats.

Cyberlorian’s comprehensive suite of tools employs advanced antivirus and anti-malware technologies, robust firewalls, and real-time Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) capabilities to fortify individual devices against evolving cyber threats. With features like patch management, device control, and application control, we ensure a multi-layered defense strategy that safeguards against unauthorized access, malware, and other security risks. Trust us to deliver a proactive and resilient endpoint protection solution that keeps your digital assets secure in today's landscape.
