Nisha Harshwal:-What are today’s most prominent endpoint security myths? Why dothey still persist?
Mr. Filip Cotfas:- The myth of the invulnerable Macs is probably one of the most famous ones. Macs are considered low maintenance devices and many organizations are adopting Apple products hoping to easier protect their sensitive data.
Nisha Harshwal:-What are the most significant difficulties with protecting endpoint clients in the enterprise?
Mr. Filip Cotfas:-Data is one of the most important assets of any organizations and security experts have been trying to defend it since digital became crucial to modern enterprises. Protecting sensitive data on multiple fronts is not easy, but is vital for all companies, across all industries across the globe. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) has become an important tool for most organizations and in a poorly maintained enterprise infrastructure, controlling data loss can be extremely challenging. Companies that use a DLP solution and detect data loss will deliver better business results and will gain the clients trust, and will become less attractive targets.
One of the main challenges is finding the right balance between what should be controlled and what should be allowed, in order to mitigate the disruption in the employee’s day to day activities.
Nisha Harshwal:-At times it seems we’re fighting a losing battle with endpoint security. What can organizations do in order to stay ahead of the threats?
Mr. Filip Cotfas:-Data Loss Prevention solutions are designed to stop sensitive data leaving the organization`s environment. Unfortunately, the number of companies involved in data breaches are continuing to grow, because they don`t understand how important it is to protect their sensitive data with solutions like Endpoint Protector.
