Up-to-date systems, active antivirus, well-defined access policies. But the real question is: <strong>how much control do we really have over corporate endpoint?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In today&#8217;s working environments, <b>devices <\/b>(laptops, smartphones, tablets, personal devices) are interconnected and it is imperative that this is the case. However, corporate <strong>security postures<\/strong> often rest on weak assumptions: fragmented protections, partial visibility, unified management.<\/p>\n<p>This is the illusion of control: a system that seems to work, until the first cyber incident occurs.<\/p>\n<h2>Where do vulnerabilities of endpoint emerge?<\/h2>\n<p>The balance between productivity and security is increasingly difficult to maintain. Every new device that enters the corporate ecosystem (be it a corporate laptop, a BYOD-enabled personal smartphone&#8230;) is also a potential vector of risk. It is a matter of <strong>heterogeneity and lack of consistency in management<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Threats often do not present themselves with a direct and blatant attack. Instead, they creep in quietly by exploiting:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Operating systems not updated<\/strong>, because patching processes are not centralised;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Applications installed without authorisation<\/strong>, which escape IT policies;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Excessive permissions granted to users<\/strong>, which can unintentionally expose sensitive data;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lack of mobile data encryption<\/strong>, with lost or compromised devices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Added to this is a critical factor, namely, <strong>partial or absent visibility<\/strong>. Without a centralised picture, it is impossible to know how many devices are active, what networks they connect to, what risks they expose and how well they adhere to corporate policies.<\/p>\n<p>In this context, modern<strong> cyber threats<\/strong> move with extreme agility. Cyber criminals exploit automated tools to find security holes in endpoints, intercept credentials, install malware or ransomware that propagates laterally in the network.<\/p>\n<p>Corporate security managers often only realise the problem after the incident has occurred. And at that point, the economic, reputational and operational costs can be very high.<\/p>\n<p>According to our in-depth study on new threats &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobisec.com\/en\/news\/mobile-device-security-todays-threats-and-those-of-the-future\/\"><strong>Mobile device security: today&#8217;s threats and those of the future<\/strong><\/a>&#8221;\u00a0it becomes clear how attackers exploit blind spots in <strong>endpoint management<\/strong>, striking where there is a lack of update, control or awareness.<\/p>\n<p>And even when adopting advanced authentication technologies, the perception of security can be misleading if there is a lack of <strong>endpoint management<\/strong> tools capable of ensuring consistent policies and real-time visibility.<\/p>\n<h2>Unified endpoint management: the basis of a robust security posture<\/h2>\n<p>To break out of the illusion of control, centralised governance is needed. <strong>Unified Endpoint Management (UEM)<\/strong> is now a must-have standard for all organisations that want to secure corporate devices without compromising operational agility.<\/p>\n<p>But what does it actually mean to adopt a <strong>unified endpoint management<\/strong> strategy?<\/p>\n<p>Means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Map all connected devices<\/strong>, regardless of their nature (desktop, laptop, mobile, BYOD);<\/li>\n<li><strong>Monitor configurations<\/strong>, avoiding vulnerabilities due to incorrect or inconsistent settings;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Monitor abnormal behaviour<\/strong> and policy deviations;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Impose updates and patches<\/strong> without relying on individual user initiative;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Segment access<\/strong>, ensuring that only compliant devices can access certain data and corporate services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It makes it possible to react quickly to changes in the work environment (new locations, smart working, staff entrances\/exits), while keeping the company&#8217;s level of exposure under control at all times.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, unified management is essential to address issues such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Regulatory compliance (e.g. GDPR)<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Audits or internal controls<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Business continuity planning and incident response<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Without EMU, all this becomes a difficult jigsaw puzzle to put together, made up of disconnected instruments and difficult-to-illuminate grey areas.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"blockquote-stile-alt\"><p><strong>Do you already have an endpoint management strategy?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you are not sure, we can help you find out with an initial assessment.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobisec.com\/en\/contacts\/\"><strong>Contact us for an initial analysis<\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Mobisec UEM Assessment: much more than technical advice<\/h2>\n<p>Mobisec&#8217;s <strong>UEM Assessment<\/strong> service was created to answer a specific question: \u2018Where are we really today in endpoint security management?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Through in-depth analyses, Mobisec assesses:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The current device fleet.<\/li>\n<li>Access and update policies.<\/li>\n<li>Threat management on mobile devices.<\/li>\n<li>The company&#8217;s ability to respond to incidents on compromised endpoints.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The result is a <strong>detailed report<\/strong> with areas for improvement, best practices and a roadmap of priority actions.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"blockquote-stile-alt\"><p>Find out more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobisec.com\/en\/products\/uem-assessment\/\"><strong>Mobisec&#8217;s UEM Assessment service<\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>From perceived control to real control<\/h2>\n<p>All too often, the <strong>security of corporate devices<\/strong> relies on partial tools or misaligned solutions.
