Endpoint detection and response (EDR) has been a standard method for securing on-premises devices for years. When combined with antivirus software, it’s proven an effective way to uncover threats before they can cause severe damage. However, the growth of smartphones and other mobile devices means more and more work is getting done outside of the office. Organizations can no longer rely on traditional EDR protections as millions more endpoints are now exposed to the threat of a cyber attack.

Resilience strategies are failing. Despite their known importance, why is it so difficult to implement them effectively? Resilience is not a new concept, but it is one we talk about individually and through the lens of business that is often difficult to demonstrate. In today’s digital world, resilience strategies are being challenged more frequently, include more scope, and are being defeated by intentional and unintentional actions—users, third-party partners, and criminals.

Nine in ten Americans now own a smartphone, according to a 2024 Pew Research study. And these smartphones are increasingly being used for work. A general rise in remote work since the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in the usage of mobile devices and personal software for work purposes, as people report in from home, coffee shops, or anywhere. This increased mobility offers many benefits for workers.

As businesses manage their data, an effective and well-implemented data architecture is the blueprint companies need to utilize, structure, and store data to ensure it is handled safely and securely without interrupting business operations. Furthermore, businesses must consider how they can manage data while also complying with numerous regulations and auditing processes to prevent the risk of data breaches and cyber or network attacks.

Cloud security isn’t optional anymore—it’s essential. More companies are shifting to the cloud, which makes their IT setups more intricate. In fact, 73% of experts say that using cloud tech has added a lot of complexity. This makes it even more urgent to beef up cloud security and stop data leaks. What’s the answer? – It is XDR (Extended Detection and Response). As cloud environments get trickier, XDR becomes vital to protect.

Kernel Direct Memory Access (DMA) Protection is a security feature in Windows designed to prevent unauthorized access to memory by external peripherals. Kernel DMA Protection requires UEFI firmware support, and Virtualization-based Security (VBS) isn’t required. Kernel DMA Protection offers enhanced security measures for the system compared to the countermeasures against BitLocker DMA attacks, all while preserving the usability of external peripherals.

This sentiment expressed by Fiverr’s VP of Business Technologies perfectly reflected the energy at the Fal.Con 2024 Torq booth and struck a chord with security teams using CrowdStrike’s powerful tools. Detection isn’t the problem — CrowdStrike excels at that. The challenge lies in automating what happens next.
