ENDPOINT CENTRAL FOR GOVERNANCEToday's complex regulatory landscape revolves around data, and data resides on endpoints. Endpoint Central enhances governance by providing visibility and security across an organization’s entire endpoint estate.
Data is indispensable for government and federal agencies, serving as the foundation for effective governance, efficiency, and public accountability. As a result, securing this data is critical to safeguard transparency, confidentiality, and trust. This data can range from public records and personally identifiable information (PII) to local or state-level administrative and operational data.
Endpoint protection is crucial for data security as it safeguards the primary access points—desktops, laptops, mobile devices, and servers—used by officials, partners, employees or departments on the whole. Effective endpoint protection lays the foundation for a robust data security strategy by securing these critical entry points by protecting endpoints from unauthorized access, data breaches, and threats while fulfilling regulatory compliance mandates.
Endpoint Central streamlines the onboarding and off-boarding of your endpoints while ensuring secure, efficient end user provisioning and decommissioning.
Implement granular access control and flag suspicious activities while ensuring that privileged access is closely managed and auditable.
Create and enforce department-specific security baseline(s) to maintain a resilient endpoint security posture in line with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
Offer dynamic role-based access controls that precisely align user permissions with their job functions thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Centralize the management of policies and maintain consistent system configurations across all IT assets, ensuring adherence to security standards and mandates.
Identify and manage asset exposure across an organization’s digital landscape while implementing protective measures to neutralize exploits.
Gain visibility and track all IT assets, including hardware and software, in a single consolidated view while eliminating shadow IT.
Implement endpoint security measures to protect endpoints from threats and ensure rapid recovery in the event of an incident to minimize downtime and data loss.
Automate patch updates to address known vulnerabilities and reduce security risks. Ensure vulnerabilities are identified and remediated before they can be exploited.
Protect against web-based threats such as phishing with malware detection and blocking. Prevent access to harmful sites and protect against web-based attacks with website filtering.
Go beyond traditional methods to detect and neutralize sophisticated threats with Next-Gen Antivirus that employs machine learning and behavioural analysis to identify and respond to emerging threats in real-time.
Derive insights from comprehensive reports that assess the effectiveness of security controls and best practices. Evaluate security measures and identify potential gaps crucial to enhance overall security posture.
Implement strict configurations and remove unnecessary services and software to reduce vulnerabilities in endpoints. Meet stringent security standards, minimize your attack surfaces and align with regulatory mandates.
Detect security misconfigurations and identify weaknesses in endpoints such as high risk software, system ports and unwarranted permissions that could be exploited by attackers. Continuously monitor vulnerabilities and implement pre-emptive measures to deny threat actors.
Ensuring endpoints comply with data protection laws like GDPR and CCPA is critical in government IT. Enforce strict access controls, encryption, and data handling procedures on all endpoints to protect citizens' personal information.
Implement a comprehensive set of security controls on endpoints in line with ISO 27002 standards, such as asset management, device security and data encryption.
Centralize the collection and management of logs from your endpoints across the network for effective monitoring, providing a single source of truth that aids in compliance and security auditing.
Public sector organizations, including regional and local governments, healthcare, education, and other essential services, are managing an expanding and increasingly dispersed endpoint environment. With the rising frequency of cyber incidents and breaches, safeguarding endpoints and securing sensitive data is imperative to ensure compliance and protect privacy
