As the White House works towards a new cybersecurity strategy that emphasizes on having cyber-resilience and better software protection, it is important for enterprises to be prepared for all kinds of intrusions. Absolute’s 2023 Resilience Index is an accurate evaluation of what IT and CISOs are demanding from the current trends of using secure software.
With the endpoints being the most dynamic and challenging threat surfaces to protect, companies need to adapt a zero trust framework. The Index has shown how the typical enterprise device has 67 applications installed, needing multiple security agents to be installed and managed. Further, the typical enterprise device is used mostly to access Google Mail and Salesforce, presenting more cyber security risks.
The Index tracked the efficacy of installation and management of security applications for endpoint protection, endpoint detection and response and remote access solutions from leading security vendors like Cisco, Citrix and Microsoft. Following the Index’s recommendations, IT and cybersecurity teams should automate access control and identity management. Further, it is critical to have self-healing endpoints to maintain cyber-resilience and ensure employees can work from remote locations securely.
Absolute’s CEO, Jen Easterly, has called on technology companies to take greater responsibility for their products to reduce the risk of cyberattacks. The company has helped organizations maintain resiliency and increase cyber security, even with budget constraints and low headcounts. Moreover, their automated solutions eliminate the need to manually repair cybersecurity assets, making it easier for IT staffs to keep their endpoints up to date.
To hear how leaders are integrating the latest AI investments in their cyber security strategies, leaders can join the event on July 11th-12th in San Francisco. It is a great platform to learn more about cybersecurity, protect endpoints,and maintain zero trust frameworks.
