Massive complexity endangers enterprise endpoint environments
2020-06-29 04:00

There's a massive amount of complexity plaguing today's enterprise endpoint environments.

The number of agents piling up on enterprise endpoint devices - up on average - is hindering IT and security's ability to maintain foundational security hygiene practices, such as patching critical vulnerabilities, which may actually weaken endpoint security defenses, Absolute reveals.

In addition to heightening risk exposure, the failure of critical endpoint controls to deliver their maximum intended value is also resulting in security investments and, ultimately, wasted endpoint security spend.

"It is time for enterprises to increase the rigor around measuring the effectiveness of the investments they've made. By incorporating resilience as a key metric for endpoint health, and ensuring they have the ability to view and measure Endpoint Resilience, enterprise leaders can maximize their return on security investments."

The massive amount of complexity uncovered means that even the most well-functioning endpoint agents are at risk of collision or failure once deployed across today's enterprise endpoint environments.
