Security News > 2021 > March > The Often-Overlooked Element of a Hack: Endpoints

When establishing visibility and security controls across endpoints, security professionals need to understand that each endpoint bears some or all responsibility for its own security.

At a minimum, organizations therefore should deploy simple forms of endpoint security like anti-virus or anti-malware software across their entire fleet of devices.

Many organizations are going beyond these simple measures and nowadays leverage modern endpoint security technology that encompasses encryption, intrusion detection, and behavior-blocking elements to identify and block threats and risky behavior, either by end users or intruders.

Organizations often use a variety of endpoint security and management tools.
