As a South African business, you’re probably aware that cyber threats are a constant and evolving challenge. However, you might not realise that one of the most vulnerable parts of your IT infrastructure is right in front of you: your employees’ devices.
Research shows that a staggering 68% of organisations have experienced a successful endpoint attack that compromised their data or IT infrastructure. This alarming statistic, reported by Expert Insights, highlights a growing and critical problem.
An endpoint is any device that connects to your corporate network. This includes laptops, smartphones, tablets, and even printers. Because they sit on the frontline of your network, they’re both highly exposed and often the easiest entry point for cybercriminals.
The rise of remote work and ‘bring your own device’ (BYOD) policies has also significantly expanded attack risks. Your network is no longer confined to a single office building. It extends to employees’ homes, coffee shops, and anywhere else they log on. This creates a prime opportunity for cybercriminals to deploy a variety of sophisticated attacks.
The stealthy threats targeting your endpoints
Cybercriminals constantly develop new ways to bypass traditional security measures. They deploy ransomware to hold your data hostage, use various forms of malware to steal information, and trick employees with social engineering tactics like phishing. Additionally, your business can be at risk from insider threats, where malicious or negligent employees cause harm.
These threats can be difficult to detect with traditional antivirus software, which often relies on signature-based detection. This method is effective against known threats, but it struggles to combat new, never-before-seen malware and sophisticated zero-day attacks.
Closing the gap before it’s too late
Many organisations understand the risks, but a significant gap still exists between understanding that your business requires endpoint protection and successfully putting it in place.
