In IT, endpoints are the physical devices that connect to a network system. In a corporate environment, endpoints include mobile devices, desktop computers, laptops, servers, and other equipment employees use to access the network and other critical digital systems. A company with fewer than 50 employees typically averages around 22 endpoints, 50-100 employees average more than 100, and companies with more than 1,000 employees average nearly 2,000.

Today, organizations are confronted with a multitude of cybersecurity risks, both from external and internal threats. The global cost of cybercrime is projected to exceed $10 trillion by 2025. In 2023, a staggering 72% of all organizations worldwide fell victim to ransomware attacks, which is just one type of threat. The reality is that cyber threats are pervasive, and the adversaries behind them are becoming increasingly sophisticated with each passing year.

It’s tempting for organizations to let employees use their devices for work. It saves money, is convenient for users, and allows corporate network access. However, “bring your own device” (BYOD) arrangements can lead to serious security risks compared to issuing company-owned devices.

Endpoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions are critical tools for organizations looking to safeguard sensitive information from insider threats, unintentional leaks, and external attacks. These solutions monitor, detect, and block the transfer of valuable data outside company networks, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations. In this post, we’ll explore the top eight endpoint DLP solutions that offer robust security features, ease of use, and integration capabilities.

Imagine receiving a work email from your finance department asking about an overdue invoice. You notice it has a few extra typos and uses strange language, so disregarding it as junk. What you don’t know is that your very busy coworker receives the same email at the same time. Because they’re more distracted than normal, they respond, unknowingly aiding with a business email compromise (BEC) attack.

Are you leveraging every piece of data to protect your network? Telemetry data is the automated process of collecting and sending data from remote points to an IT system for monitoring and analysis. Telemetry empowers companies to detect anomalies, predict potential breaches, and respond to threats faster.

With the rise of remote work and the increasing prevalence of cyberthreats, companies actively seek robust solutions to safeguard their valuable data assets. One solution that has gained traction recently is Code 42 Incydr, a data risk detection and response platform. Incydr is a SaaS solution that combines data loss prevention (DLP), cloud access security broker (CASB), and user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) capabilities into a single platform.

Cybersecurity issues more commonly arise from insider activity than outside activity. Of course, attacks by external threat actors still occur, but insider incidents cause most data breaches and leaks. Often, insider threat and insider risk are used interchangeably to describe cybersecurity risks posed by people with inside knowledge of a company.

Telemetry data automatically collects and sends data from various devices to a central location for analysis and monitoring. However, not all data is created equal. To better understand data telemetry and how to leverage it, you also need to understand the different types of data telemetry. This article will discuss various telemetry data examples and types to help you better understand the topic.

Many of us think we’re too smart to get scammed by fake company emails. We also believe our biggest cybersecurity threats will be more complex than they have been in the past, and that today’s scammers and phishers will only target government and financial institutions with cutting-edge hacking and infiltration techniques. Regrettably, the threat of seemingly simple business email compromise (BEC) attacks is as prevalent as ever.
