It's Time to Rethink Your Endpoint Strategy

RETHINKINGYour Endpoint

Security Strategy

Paul Henry | Security and Forensics Analyst

The Threat Landscape has Evolved…

Shift in Information that is Targeted

Market for stolen data is saturated» Then - Stolen personally identifiable

information sold on the black market for up to $15 per record

» Now - Credit card data has dropped to about 20 cents per record

New, more valuable target is now intellectual property (IP)

» Revenue-generating information» Much larger impact and value –

organization versus individuals

Data Breaches Impact Your Bottom Line

4

No Longer a Microsoft World

» Then-Priority on patching servers and Windows O/S

» Now-PC and 3rd party apps are the biggest source of enterprise risk

5

Continued Increase of Cyber Crime

Rise in malicious attacks

» Root cause of 31% of the data breaches studied (up from 24% YoY)*

Cyber attacks impact business

» 97% of respondents consider cyber attacks as the most severe threat to their ability to carry out their missions

» Harder to detect and more difficult to contain and remediate

» Financially motivated cyber criminals

Rising Cyber Terrorism… Impact of WikiLeaks

7

The Reality of Advanced Persistent Threats

More Sophisticated Threats Leveraging Multiple Attack Vectors

» Zero-day and third party application vulnerabilities

» Physical access through data ports

» Web-based attacks through the browser

The Rise of APTs…

» Highly targeted, constantly evolving, custom-developed malware

» Sony

» Stuxnet

» RSA

APT Example… Stuxnet

Trusted Insiders Open the Door to Risk

» Negligence is root cause of 41% of the data breaches studied – the #1 cause*

» Social media opens the door to even more risk of social engineering

» The applications we use for productivity open networks and information to risk

» Removable devices provide easy access, data mobility and… risk if not managed

Negligence remains the most common threat - and an increasingly expensive one

Security Status Quo is No Longer Effective

Security Best Practices Still Not Universally Followed

» Patch and configuration management

» Data protection practices

» User rights management

Ineffectiveness of Anti-Virus

» Increasing malware sophistication

» Only19% of new malware is detected on first day

» 50% of IT professionals point to malware as the leading cause of rising endpoint TCO

Challenges of Endpoint Management

IT Operations

Challenges

IT Security

» Lack of common management console

» Increasing agent bloat

» Increasing and costly back-end Integration

» Lack of visibility and collaboration with IT security

Challenges» Need for better accuracy

» User access rights (Local Admin)

» Lack of scalability

» Silos and insufficient collaboration between IT and business operations*

Lack of integration across technologies

is the

#1 IT security

risk*

Multiple Consoles

» 3-6 different consoles on average

Agent Bloat

» Increasing malware sophistication

Lack of Control

» 54% of IT security pros cite managing security complexity as #1 challenge

» Decreasing visibility – disparate data

» Ad-hoc monitoring of security posture

Increasing TCO of Point Technologies

» Integration and maintenance

Lack of Enterprise-Wide Visibility

Management and visibility in silos hurts effectiveness and efficiency

» What endpoints are online/offline?

» What apps are being used?

» What devices are being used?

» What user actions are concerning?

» How is data being used?

Shift to a New Endpoint Security Approach

Key Strategies

1. Rethink Endpoint Security from the Outside In

2. Shift from “Threat-Centric” to “Trust-Centric” Approach

3. Implement Defense-in-Depth Strategy

4. Reduce Complexity through Integration and Standardization

5. People, Policy and Technology Must All Play a Role in Your Strategy

…to improve endpoint security and reduce complexity

Strategy 1: Rethink Endpoint Security

Data has effectively moved away from the data- center to a borderless endpoint
