NETWORKS AND APPLICATIONS
helping them to identify , assess , and neutralise cyber threats . By providing an integrated suite of security solutions , these platforms enable organisations to detect the early signs of attacks and take timely corrective measures to prevent damage and ensure business continuity .
David Emm , Senior Security Expert at Kaspersky , comments : “ For ‘ traditional ’ cyberattacks carried out by opportunistic cybercriminals , established anti-virus defences remain effective . However , to combat more advanced attacks , a comprehensive protection strategy is essential . This involves understanding what normal network activity looks like , flagging any anomalous behaviour and taking remedial steps . This level of comprehensive threat intelligence requires the integration of all tools deployed on endpoints throughout the network .”
Implementing the latest security controls is crucial to keeping pace with the ever-evolving threat landscape . As cybercriminals continue to develop new attack methods and techniques , organisations must ensure that their defences are up to date to remain effective .
“ Endpoint Detection and Response ( EDR ) is a key solution for enterprises of all shapes and sizes ,” Morgan explains . “ As this platform can combine antivirus , threat hunting and threat intelligence , anything malicious that takes place on the end-user device can be identified and stopped . Alongside this , threat detection through SIEM ( Security Information and Event Management ) systems can detect compromises within the wider network estate , so organisations can stop threats before they even reach the end device .”
