Your confidential data is only as secure as your endpoints are. The boundary of our trusted networks is fluctuating. The widespread use of remote access technologies and Internet-based services means that client devices may be connected to the Internet and exposed to external threats on one day and directly connected to your trusted corporate LAN the next. Even devices that never leave the corporate LAN are at risk from attack if they have any connection with the outside world via web browsing or email for example.
Endpoint security has traditionally consisted of two components - a software-based firewall and an anti-virus application, both of which present challenges to enterprise administrators in terms of management and monitoring. ASC have met and overcome these challenges in many different environments and with different combinations of software. This traditional two-tier approach is rapidly becoming outpaced by the level of threat, so ASC recommend more robust defenses. Several key vendors are now providing UTM (Unified Threat Management) products for endpoint protection. These products combine several layers of protection including anti-malware, personal firewall, IPS, USB device management, file and whole disk encryption. These unified solutions provide a centralised management interface that can be integrated with existing security infrastructure, reducing management overhead and increasing ROI as a result.
Organizations often feel that they don't have the skill, will or budget to deploy full endpoint solutions. The anticipated resistance from the userbase, and the potential to break functional environments during the rollout often hold back projects, but ASC have the knowledge and experience to advise and recommend the right solution. Our consultants will lead you through the whole project, ensuring that your staff and users receive the necessary information and training to ensure a successful rollout.
