Our digital landscape is rapidly evolving for the better. New technology and software are constantly being developed to keep your data and private information safe. However, this means that cyber threats are continuously evolving as well. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important every day to protect against these cyber threats.
According to HashedOut blog, an alarming 43% of SMBs (small and medium businesses) lack any type of cybersecurity defense plan. Even further, only one in five SMBs use a type of endpoint security. Especially in today’s work-from-home climate, not using endpoint security could put your business at great risk.
What is Endpoint Security?
Endpoint security refers to securing user devices (or endpoints) like laptops, desktops, tablets and various other mobile devices. Each device is considered an endpoint when it is connected to a larger network such as the ones your employees use to access shared files, software, or other company data.
With so many employees still working from home, endpoint security is becoming a must. Since each employee is connecting through various networks, this leaves a greater possibility for someone with malicious intent to hack into your company’s larger network. With endpoint security, each device can be protected against these attacks.
Another benefit to endpoint security is the ability for a device to be isolated from the larger network. If a breach were to occur, endpoint security can cut off the device from the larger system. This keeps the device isolated until the issue can be resolved thus saving your business from a larger catastrophe.
How Can Vodigy Help?
At Vodigy, we trust in SentinelOne for all our endpoint security needs. This software is next generation AI powered and not only scans files but analyzes the user’s computer behavior for suspicious activity. SentinelOne is also primarily built for supporting a remote workforce which makes it perfect for companies still largely operating on a work-from-home basis.
By using SentinelOne combined with our firewall and DNS filter, we create a multilayered approach to security. These layers greatly reduce the chances of a successful cyberattack and help to prevent your company from losing valuable time and resources.
We also use a unique testing system to look for vulnerabilities in our client’s networks. Using an automated system, we pose as a ‘bad actor’ to find and fix any security holes as fast as possible. Afterall, the Verizon 2020 DBIR (Data Breach Investigations Report) found that 73% of data breaches were perpetrated by external threat actors.
In Conclusion
Here at Vodigy, we take network security very seriously and do everything we can on our client’s behalf. By trusting Vodigy, you can ensure your network security is in good hands.
