Employees and contractors are spread out across multiple offices and geographies. Some work from home or from shared workspaces. Most use a variety of devices and cloud applications to do their jobs. The cloud has eroded the once welldefined network perimeter, exposing your business to increasingly sophisticated and damaging cyberattacks. Inadequately protected desktops, laptops (even macOS!) and servers all provide entry points for attackers to steal data and wreak havoc. Endpoint attacks, such as phishing and ransomware, can disrupt your business, damage your company’s reputation and result in lawsuits or fines. In fact, endpoint attacks cost large enterprises over US$7 million on average or about US$440 per compromised device. It should come as no surprise that in a recent CyberArk survey of 1,000 IT security decision makers, 60 percent of respondents included external attacks, such as phishing, on their list of greatest security risks and 59 percent included ransomware. CISOs and IT leaders are fighting back, taking a defense-in-depth approach to endpoint security to reduce exposure. This eBook reviews the five essential elements of a comprehensive endpoint security strategy for your digital business. A multi-layered endpoint security plan can help you shore up vulnerabilities, improve your security posture and mitigate risk. u DOWNLOAD WHITEPAPERS AT: WWW.INTELLIGENTCISO.COM/ WHITEPAPERS www.intelligentciso.com | Issue 26 15
