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 .
The escalating pace and sophistication of threats have compelled security and IT teams to evaluate their current endpoint security capabilities . Yesterday ’ s signature-dependent security with heavy agents , high maintenance overhead and a disjointed user experience are ineffective and inefficient , bogging down security teams and leaving companies vulnerable to compromise .
In response to these challenges , CrowdStrike has created this guide to assist you in effectively safeguarding your organization against modern threats . The guide aims to delineate the essential components and elements that should constitute a modern endpoint protection strategy . p
