FEATURE: REGIONAL CYBERSECURITY All files downloaded from the Internet and/or included as an email attachment are opened in the secure container and totally sanitised before being allowed to be saved to the corporate network – eliminating the risk of malware or a hacker breaching a company via any of its endpoints. THE FUTURE OF ENDPOINT PROTECTION IS SURPRISINGLY SIMPLE, POWERFUL AND AFFORDABLE. The challenge with many endpoint products is that users need to change what they do, how they work, or a product simply blocks access to the Internet unless the site has been classified as ‘allowed’. In the real world, this simply doesn’t work. Users need to do their work with minimal to zero disruption – the containment, isolation and sanitisation solution needs to be near invisible to the user and not hinder, block or stop daily activities. The ultimate goal of these containment, isolation and sanitisation solutions, especially when combined with a low cost NGAV product is to stop unknown, neverbeen-seen-before and zero-day attacks from infecting an organization. If malware or a hacker is contained in a secure virtual container that cannot escape from or breach the company, confidence increases exponentially. The ultimate goal of any cybersecurity strategy is for the attackers and hackers to move on to easier targets to breach. So reducing the attack surface at the endpoint delivers a very powerful and compelling solution to all sizes of organizations. • www.intelligentcio.com INTELLIGENTCIO 43
