Endpoint protection began in the late 1980s, marked by the advent of traditional antivirus (AV) software, which remains in use today as the primary defense against known malware variants. However, the landscape has evolved significantly with the rise of cloud computing and mobile devices, prompting a shift in security priorities towards endpoint protection. Consequently, this shift necessitates the development of innovative techniques and tools capable of preemptively countering threats before they establish a foothold.
While traditional endpoint security tools, such as antivirus software, primarily focus on preventing known attacks and established attack vectors, they tend to miss approximately 60% of modern endpoint attacks. It is important to note that organizations are indeed transitioning to more advanced endpoint security solutions to address the challenge of modern endpoint attacks. However, the effectiveness of these solutions is often hampered by the absence of a roadmap to plan and implement endpoint protection, leaving vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit.
Regardless of the size and complexity of their IT environment, the types of data organizations store,…
