Over reliance on detection technologies for mitigating malware risks negatively taxes enterprises in two ways: successful malware attacks and higher cyber operations costs. Here we look qualitatively at cyber operations costs to help answer the question: what would be alleviated if far more malware attacks were neutralized at the endpoint in real-time by adding non-detection protection capabilities.

Industry analysts say that enterprises rely solely or mostly on detection-based cyber defense technologies. Their reports also demonstrate why detection-based tools alone are not enough. This blog focuses explains why detection is missing the mark. It concludes with a brief introduction of what the enterprise needs and the steps to get it.

From the vendor: “Kaseya’s VSA product has unfortunately been the victim of a sophisticated cyberattack.” Hackers believed to be associated with the Russian threat group known as “REvil” exploited a SQL vulnerability and an authentication bypass to hijack the on-premise deployments of Kaseya VSA.

Everybody seems to be buying into the concept of doing more with less, but, how can we apply that to endpoint security? Apply zero trust principles WITHIN endpoints.

Applying zero-trust principles WITHIN endpoints will help enterprise cybersecurity programs shift their priorities to conform to the new realities of COVID-19.
