Combating Endpoint Vulnerabilities in the Era of Remote Work: Insights from NinjaOne at Cybersec Netherlands 2024
The cybersecurity landscape is shifting rapidly as remote and hybrid work models drive an unprecedented growth in endpoints. This change is creating new challenges for IT teams and amplifying the risks associated with unmanaged devices. As threat actors continue to professionalize, organizations must reassess their approach to endpoint security to safeguard against potential breaches. This article dives into the most pressing cybersecurity threats, emerging trends in endpoint management, and how NinjaOne is addressing these challenges with automated solutions to improve security and efficiency.
As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, unmanaged devices and endpoint growth remain significant vulnerabilities for many organizations. With the rise in remote and hybrid work models, IT teams face increasing challenges in managing devices effectively. This article shares NinjaOne’s insights on the current cybersecurity landscape, top threats, and solutions to address these issues ahead of Cybersec Netherlands 2024.
The Most Pressing Cybersecurity Threats
Unmanaged devices! The professionalization of threat actors makes them more dangerous. According to a Microsoft Digital Defense Report, unmanaged devices pose a serious security threat and are often the entry point for threat actors.
Fueled by a wave of remote and hybrid work, organizations are managing more endpoints than ever. In fact, according to a study by the Enterprise Strategy Group, 70% of employees in modern organizations now use four or more endpoints every day.
This influx of endpoints and devices puts IT teams in an impossible situation. There is a lack of visibility and management of devices across organizations, and this poses serious security risks and challenges.
Key Trends in Cybersecurity
Endpoint growth is accelerating right now. IT leaders had to rethink everything overnight when the pandemic hit. Internal networks disappeared, SaaS usage exploded, and endpoint growth surged as workers went fully remote.
When it comes to cybersecurity specifically, endpoints present significant security risk and are constantly targeted in cyberattacks. ESG also found that more than three-quarters of organizations (77%) have experienced a cyberattack that started via the exploitation of an unknown, unmanaged, or poorly managed endpoint.
Organizations are solving this challenge by implementing an automated endpoint management solution as part of their arsenal. This not only helps security teams to increase the visibility and control they need to combat today’s greatest security risks, but it also unifies IT and security meaning security issues can be resolved faster. Gaining visibility into all devices accessing the network, as well as getting ahead of the impact of ransomware by protecting critical data through backups, are both invaluable for security teams.
