Protecting endpoints stands out as one of the most critical security challenges in the modern workplace. Despite this, organizations have historically treated endpoint solutions primarily as basic device management tools, overlooking the fact that endpoints are prime targets for attackers. The surge in remote and hybrid work arrangements has further heightened the risk, with adversaries intensifying efforts to exploit any disparities in control and security. The proliferation of new, often unsecured access points to networks and data, coupled with the rapid deployment of new infrastructure, has provided threat actors with an expanded attack surface, allowing them to escalate both the volume and reach of their activities.
According to IBM, “various studies estimate 90% of successful cyberattacks originate at the endpoint,” as adversaries seek to establish a foothold for launching identity-based attacks, pivoting to cloud infrastructure, exploiting vulnerabilities and more.
