Is your firewall enough in today’s cybersecurity threat landscape?
The increased usage of mobile devices such as laptops, tablets, and cellphones, pandemic-related work-from-home practices, and the shift to cloud and virtual environments, have created a new opportunity for the bleeding-edge threat actors.
Who are these bleeding-edge threat actors you may ask? These are the people we like to call “hackers”. These hackers are constantly trying to devise new ways to take advantage of businesses or individuals, and their data. The evolution of the threat actor has led to an evolution of how businesses need to protect their digital assets.
The traditional layer of network security, like the firewall, is no longer enough in this time where mobile devices, cloud computing, and working from home , have become the new normal. The Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) in conjunction with Endpoint Protection & Response (EPR) adds depth to your security.
While the traditional Anti Virus is part of Endpoint Protection, the modern EPP offers advanced protection mechanisms, such as behavioural analysis, memory monitoring, and verification of indicators of compromise. The EPR adds further protection by using advanced features such as behavioural analysis, artificial intelligence , and cyber threat intelligence .
