Endpoint security is at a critical juncture. Increasingly, employees at organizations of all sizes are using a wider variety than ever of desktop and mobile devices, including smartphones, tablets and laptops, as they work from broadly dispersed locations, including home offices. Often, organizations are permitting and even encouraging employees to use their own devices under BYOD (bring your own device) policies. With these devices, employees are accessing not only corporate data and applications, but also social media, banking and shopping sites. Download this white paper to learn more about endpoint security.

In today’s ‘always on, always connected’ world where sensitive data is almost certain to be stored electronically, organizations can no longer afford to operate without some form of Endpoint Protection. The costs related to network downtime or stolen data resulting from malicious attacks significantly outweighs that of maintaining an up to date solution. Although the unified nature of Endpoint Protection has made extensive security functionality easier to manage, selecting the right products can be a difficult task. This whitepaper aims to explain how the core functionality of Enterprise Protection suites have developed, what to look for in a solution, and which technologies will need to be considered in the future. In today’s business environment, it is no longer a question of whether to invest in Endpoint Protection, but a question of which solution is right for your organization.

New business models and employee work styles are adding pressure on existing endpoint security strategies. A recent survey shows most companies are dissatisfied with current approaches to endpoint security. As a result, most companies are eyeing vendor changes in the coming year.

Virtualization and cloud computing can help your organization achieve significant savings in data center hardware costs, operational expenditures, and energy demands— while achieving improvements in quality of service and business agility. However, as data centers continue to transition from physical to virtual and now increasingly, cloud environments, traditional security can slow down provisioning, become difficult to manage, and cause performance lag. As you scale your virtual environment and adopt software defined networking, evolving your approach to security can reduce time, effort, and impact on CPU, network, and storage. Read this white paper to learn more about virtualization and cloud computing.

Traditional security solutions can’t keep up with new trends in user behavior.
