The Endpoint Security Challenge

With the barrage of threats from inside and outside the corporate walls and with regulations enforcing strict security and operations standards, enterprises face the daunting task of effectively managing their risk at the endpoint. Today’s mobile workforce multiplies the challenge exponentially as enterprises must extend their visibility and control of their users’ behavior and corporate endpoints to:

  • Remediate application and OS vulnerabilities
  • Maintain desired security configurations
  • Prevent data leakage, loss or theft
  • Protect against malware and zero-day threats
  • Deny use of unauthorized peripheral devices and unwanted or unlicensed applications

In facing this challenge organizations have deployed many point products, leaving them with no consolidated and consistent policy-based approach. In these situations, there is no feasible way for business, IT and security groups to interact with each other because each solution is in its own silo.

A Practical Approach to IT Security Risks
Information Security Magazine's Andy Briney and Lumension Security Chairman & CEO Pat Clawson discuss how organizations can implement a practical approach to identifying, prioritizing and responding to IT security risks. Find out how this type of proactive, policy-based approach can establish, enforce and maintain desired security postures.

Manage Risk at the Endpoint through Unified Protection and Control Solutions

Lumension Security’s policy-driven, unified protection and control solutions enable enterprises to effectively manage risk across disparate groups, comply with security policies and regulations, consolidate IT resources, and ultimately reduce costs and improve overall efficiencies. Based upon a policy-framework that mitigates non-compliant behavior or vulnerabilities before problems occur, Lumension solutions assure that desired security postures are consistently and continuously enforced throughout the enterprise.

Lumension solutions are used across a wide range of industries to address endpoint security and operations challenges and to bring disparate groups together within an enterprise to develop and enforce security policies.
