What are Endpoints?
Endpoints are the physical devices that are connected to a network. The list ranges from laptops and desktops, to smartphones and smart watches. Anything that uses your network counts as an endpoint, so think about every device that you can that comes in and out of your building and connects to your network.
Be aware that endpoints can be an easy access point for attackers, leaving businesses vulnerable without sufficient endpoint management; according to IDC, 70% of successful cybersecurity breaches originate from endpoint devices. This is why you should manage all endpoints and ensure that access to your is restricted for only authorised endpoint devices.
So, what is Endpoint Management?
Endpoint management is the practice of managing each individual endpoint on your network and securing it, authenticating and supervising the access rights of each endpoint to a network, applying policies to eliminate any external or internal threats.
A range of IT support businesses to it differently, but at TwentyFour IT, we utilise our endpoint management software, which allows us to manage all devices or endpoints on your network, carrying out rapid deployment of cyber security changes across all users and sites and keeping endpoints up to date and secure, so that you don’t have to. Our software allows us to react quickly and efficiently to patch any vulnerabilities and secure your network, should indicators of any compromise, remote threats, or attacks be reported by our automatic reporting system.
With us, you can rest assured that your endpoint security is in the right hands, up-to-date, and protected.
Does my business need endpoint management?
We believe that the more endpoint devices an organisation has deployed, the greater the need is to manage them. Securing and managing endpoints is fundamental to building resilience against potential attackers that want to steal your business’ data. With the increasingly common work-from-home trend, endpoint management becomes even more necessary; you need to make sure that your employees, your business, and your data, are safe no matter where they are, or what device they are using while working.
