Boards of directors are working to improve their ability to oversee cybersecurity risk management. This is in response to the growing frequency and severity of cyberattacks, as well as new regulations that require organizations to take a more proactive approach to cybersecurity.
Working from home (WFH) has brought with it advantages such as flexibility and access to global talent, but it has also introduced new security threats to organizations. The shift to a remote or hybrid workforce has forced companies to adopt more software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications, which has caused almost 40% of companies to lose control of their IT and security environments, according to data from a Cloudflare study.
The number of new types of attacks that compromise organizations’ cybersecurity is on the rise. Cybercriminals are more capable than ever of adapting and upgrading their attack formats to circumvent their victims' protection protocols. Data shows that the volume of new attacks is increasing every year. According to Astra, this year we have reached a record number of 560,000 new types of malware detected daily. This brings the number of malware currently in existence to over one billion.
Storing business data on personal devices and laptops has increased in recent years due to the shift towards hybrid or remote working models. This substantially raises the risk of sensitive information being exfiltrated if employees suffer theft, loss, or accidentally forget their devices.
During the Converge 2023 event, Matt Quinn, the CTO of Tanium, discussed the company's progress over the past year and announced the development of Autonomous Endpoint Management (AEM)
Endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools are essential for safeguarding an organization’s endpoints, such as computers, servers, and mobile devices. With adversaries leveraging increasingly sophisticated techniques, choosing the right EDR solution that fits your organization’s needs is more critical than ever. The challenges, requirements, and risk tolerances of any business are crucial factors in selecting the most suitable tool for your specific IT environment.
