Endpoint Protection

1. Why is the Endpoint the Weakest Link?

In an IT system, endpoints are all the devices used by end-users: Computers, laptops, Phones, tablets, Printers, cameras, IoT devices. According to IBM statistics (2024), over 68% of cyberattacks start from infected or unauthorized endpoint devices.

The problem is: Endpoints can connect to the internal network but often lack proper protection like servers or central firewalls.

2. When do businesses get attacked via endpoints?

Common Scenarios	Consequences
Employee clicks on a phishing link	Entire machine's data is encrypted
Computer is not updated with patches	Hackers exploit vulnerabilities, take control
Malware-infected USB plugged into laptop	Ransomware infection, spreads to internal network
Accounting department installs cracked software	Machine is remotely controlled without anyone knowing

3. Traditional Antivirus is Obsolete

Old Antivirus	Modern Endpoint Protection (EDR)
Only detects based on virus signatures	Behavioral analysis, AI detects anomalies
Cannot control internal network connections	Real-time monitoring & isolation of infected endpoints
Cannot react if ransomware attacks	Automatic rollback, send alerts, instant block

If you are still only using antivirus software installed on individual machines, you are opening the door for hackers.

4. Cyber IT Security's Endpoint Protection Solution

Cyber IT Security provides endpoint protection solutions based on the model:

• EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response)
• Zero Trust Access Control
• Application Whitelisting & USB Control
• Cloud-Based Policy Management

5. Integrated Protection Layers

Layer	Feature Description

Local Firewall	Control running applications/software
USB control	Prohibit or limit read/write via USB
Asset monitoring	Monitor software and hardware of each device
Rollback ransomware	Recover encrypted files within 72h
Central alert	Instant reporting upon dangerous behavior

6. Easy SIEM & ISO 27001 Integration

If you are deploying ISO 27001 or a security monitoring system (SIEM), Cyber IT Security's endpoint solution can:

• Send centralized logs (Syslog, API)
• Map to Annex A clauses: A.5.15, A.8.16, A.5.20...
• Automatically alert if a device violates policy

7. Supported Platforms

Windows (10, 11, Server), macOS, Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS...), Android (based on BYOD policy), Cloud Workloads (AWS, Azure).
