Holistic Endpoint Security Requires Built-In Hardware-Based Defenses
Developing an effective security plan that protects far-flung devices in hybrid workspaces isn't easy. Cybercriminals just need one door open at an endpoint to compromise your systems and steal valuable data. Download this thought-provoking HP whitepaper detailing how hardware-based root-of-trust technologies that deliver security below and within operating systems offer the best protection.
Impact of Remote Work on Cybersecurity
The transition to remote work has significantly increased the importance of endpoint security. Before the pandemic, only 6% of employees worked from home, but this number surged to 53% during the pandemic. As of 2021, it's expected that 30% of employees will continue to work from home. This shift has made endpoint devices more vulnerable to cyberattacks, highlighting the need for robust security measures.
Limitations of Current Endpoint Security Approaches
Relying solely on software-based endpoint security solutions presents several limitations. These solutions often operate in a reactive mode and lack visibility into firmware integrity, making them less effective against sophisticated attacks. As a result, organizations may find themselves exposed to new and unknown threats that target vulnerabilities below the operating system.
Benefits of Hardware-Based Security
Hardware-based security solutions provide several advantages, including enhanced protection against firmware attacks and the ability to self-heal from compromises. For instance, HP Wolf Security for Business integrates features like HP Sure Start, which protects firmware integrity and enables rapid recovery from issues. This approach minimizes disruptions to user productivity and reduces the burden on IT teams, making it a more holistic solution for endpoint security.
