Endpoint security protects devices on a network from malicious threats and cyberattacks. These devices, also known as endpoints, include servers, PCs, laptops, tablets, mobile phones, IoT devices, and other smart products such as printers.
There are many endpoint security solutions available on the market. They offer different features and benefits, such as:
Anti-malware
Attack surface reduction
Device-based conditional access
Vulnerability and misconfiguration discovery
Threat monitoring and analysis
Automation and orchestration
Endpoint protection is important for organizations of all sizes and in all industries, as cybercriminals often consider endpoints to be a vulnerability and therefore an easy target. By deploying a unified endpoint security solution such as Endpoint Protection by TeamViewer and ThreatDown, you can protect your business-critical data, corporate assets, and brand reputation from cyber risks.
What price would you put on your brand reputation and customer loyalty and trust? A cyberattack could expose your sensitive data, including personal customer information, and compromise network and website security. And your business may never recover from the financial and reputational damage.
Laptops, tablets, mobile devices, IoT devices, POS systems – endpoints are the most common targets of cyberattacks and can be especially vulnerable if they are off-site. Any device left unlocked, or connected to an unsafe Wi-Fi connection, or used in public can expose your organization to malicious applications. Endpoint security solutions shield devices from malware, phishing, and zero-day attacks. They can also monitor, detect, and respond to security incidents, alerts, and policies.
The number of endpoints across an enterprise network is expanding every day, placing increasing importance on cybersecurity and endpoint protection. With the risk of a cyberattack continuing to grow, companies of all sizes are faced with unprecedented challenges.
Remote working and working from home are popular with employees as they allow flexibility and convenience. However, the subsequent shift towards BYOD (Bring Your Own Device – allowing users to access a network on their personal devices) places further demands on endpoint security. And of course, the Internet of Things increases the number of devices a company must protect. Although remote work increases efficiency and productivity, it brings with it an invisible danger: Cyberattacks that jeopardize endpoint security.
A multi-device approach makes endpoint security much more complex because different endpoints run on various operating systems. However, endpoint security solutions such as TeamViewer are device and software-agnostic, helping to minimize the risk of a cyberattack and protect valuable corporate data.
Endpoint security solutions are designed for companies of all sizes across all sectors. At a basic level, they are designed to scan files, applications, and systems for malicious activity. But endpoint security software leverages a powerful set of advanced features to ensure your network is safe and secure:
Through signatureless payload analysis and anomaly detection — powered by machine learning and AI — the software identifies and blocks malware attempting to exploit vulnerabilities in the systems, thus preventing zero-day attacks.
Cyberattacks gain entry to corporate networks via various routes: malicious emails, unauthorized use of a USB stick, or browsing the internet, to name a few. With comprehensive web protection, you prevent users from accessing malicious sites, advertising, scammer networks, as well as downloading unauthorized programs and making unapproved modifications.
By analyzing and inspecting outgoing or incoming emails before they reach a user's inbox, an email gateway protects against cyberattacks that do not require user intervention, such as malware, ransomware, or denial-of-service attacks.
Server-side and client-side, endpoint encryption prevents cybercriminals from gaining access to sensitive corporate data, regardless of whether it is being stored, sent, or processed.
Backups allow you to restore your data and systems if they are compromised or damaged by an attack. Overall, backups prevent data loss, reduce downtime and enhance security.
Better together: By seamlessly integrating ThreatDown by Malwarebytes Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) into TeamViewer Remote Management, TeamViewer and ThreatDown deliver advanced endpoint protection to companies worldwide. The full endpoint protection suite allows you to remotely access, monitor, and protect your devices from malware, ransomware, zero-day exploits, and other cyber threats.
TeamViewer's integrated endpoint security solution has a lightweight agent that does not slow down device performance. It uses machine learning and AI to detect and block both known and advanced attacks. The endpoint security software also enables you to isolate infected devices, retrieve encrypted files, and get automated threat analysis and impact assessments.
