Network Firewall - Next-Generation Firewall and Security Solutions

What you don’t know can hurt your business

Cyber risk incidents can have operational, financial, reputational, and strategic consequences for you and your customers, all of which come at significant costs. Security misconfigurations and software vulnerabilities are often the root cause of these incidents, which leave the door open for cybercriminals to exploit these weaknesses.

According to Verizon, 82% of breaches involve the human element, misconfiguration, and misuse. Implementing the best-in-class endpoint security solution with advanced capabilities doesn’t guarantee 100% protection. A security setting within an endpoint that violates a configuration policy, or has been left insecure or misconfigured, can cause unintended behavior, putting the entire system at risk.

Common mistakes that lead to security risks

1.

Not keeping up with patches

Outdated software can leave systems exposed to known vulnerabilities, which may have already been patched. To ensure patches are effective, they must be applied on time. Otherwise, hackers will take advantage of vulnerabilities.

2.

Lack of visibility into indicators of attack

In living-off-the-land (LotL) attacks, intruders use legitimate software or tools available in the victim’s system to perform malicious actions. Implement a security solution that includes anomalous behavioral analysis and detection of IoAs.

3.

Security misconfigurations

Attackers are actively looking for holes in security to sneak into the network. To be truly effective, protection settings must be properly configured and enabled to avoid hackers exploiting protection setting weaknesses.

4.

Accidentally leaving unprotected endpoints

A cybercriminal only needs one device to compromise the security of the whole organization. Deploy an endpoint security solution in every single system. Protection is only as strong as its weakest link.

Monitor and prevent cyber risk

Cyber risk can have a direct impact on your systems if the endpoint solution is not properly configured. This makes existing protection measures less effective, forcing IT teams to assess their security posture continuously. So, how can risk incidents be prevented?

Security admins need to understand their cyber threat risk posture and reinforce security solution controls so they can prevent and minimize the chances of getting infected and disrupting their business. Strengthen your security posture with risk monitoring and discover vulnerabilities and security configuration weaknesses across endpoints where TechSpace Endpoint Security solutions are implemented.

Manage and monitor unprotected endpoints, indicators of attack, security misconfigurations, OS and third-party software vulnerabilities, and missing patches to proactively safeguard your network before a breach occurs.
