Components of an endpoint security suite
An endpoint security software consists of components that protect your endpoints, enable secure connectivity to the corporate network, and ensure the protection of sensitive data even in the event of theft or loss. This modular solution offers the advantage that you only choose the components you need. It can also be upgraded later if necessary, giving you additional flexibility.
The key components of an endpoint security software are:
- A secure browser
The greatest weakness of any IT security architecture is the browser. Mindless surfing in the web is enough for hackers to gain access to a computer. At the same time, the use of the Internet is indispensable for professional tasks. A secure browser protects protects against dangers from the net and lets cyber attacks run into the void.
- Protection of network communication via VPN access
A VPN client protects network communications, such as a laptop with a government or corporate network, over an untrusted network such as the Internet. The company network can then only be accessed via an encrypted connection. Employees can work flexibly and without restrictions on their mobility - with a secure network connection.
- Full-disk encryption that protects all data
When using mobile devices like laptops, potentially more people can access the end device, steal or manipulate data. With full-disk encryption, sensitive data is comprehensively protected - even in the event of theft or loss of the end device.
Save costs with an endpoint security software
Digitalization influences the IT architecture: organizations and companies struggle with hundreds of special solutions; each one tailored to a specific challenge. This means a considerable amount of work for the IT administration. For each solution and each user an admin needs to define appropriate group policies, roles and accesses. This means a considerable organizational effort, which is often perceived as a burden.
Only with an all-inclusive solution, can organizations and companies meet these challenges and protect their data appropriately. An endpoint security suite offers the following advantages:
- All endpoints are fully protected by an encrypted connection to the network, data encryption and secure web browsing - regardless of where employees are located.
- You don’t need special hardware for the use of software-based solutions This eliminates the need to purchase new hardware.
- Furthermore, an endpoint security software only needs one installation - this not only reduces the burden on IT administration staff, but also on your budget. At the same time, IT is comprehensively protected against attacks and remains high-performance - the IT department can concentrate on its processes again without compromising security.
