Because of their large attack surface made up of different sets \u2014 including laptops, desktops, mobile devices, and servers \u2014 endpoints are becoming the primary targets of increasingly sophisticated attacks. This diversity is further complicated by the variety of operating systems (OSs) being run on those devices. In addition, the location of these devices is often no longer tied only to company networks, due to the increase in hybrid and remote work, and more server workloads moving to the cloud.<\/span><\/p>\n

To meet the growing needs of security teams, the endpoint security market is constantly evolving, albeit at an incremental rate recently. <\/span>Endpoint security<\/a><\/span> has been around for decades, but changes in device use and the quick evolution of new attacks have triggered the development of new security techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n

Below are four areas for security professionals to focus on to establish and enhance their endpoint security. While not a comprehensive list, this should help security experts, both new and established, understand the core concepts around endpoint security.<\/span><\/p>\n

Baseline Security<\/h2>\n

Endpoint protection starts with strong baseline security. Organizations must make optimal use of all of the features their OSes and applications provide that can help with endpoint protection. To do this, security experts should:<\/span><\/p>\n
