  5. Defending Your Digital Perimeter: The Role of Endpoint Management
8 August 2023

Now more than ever, businesses depend heavily on technology. Gone are the days of manual labour, now machines and software handle operations. However, this also makes your organisation vulnerable to cyber attacks.

Your digital perimeter includes all devices and endpoints connected to your network. They become the first line of defence against potential digital dangers. Understanding your digital perimeter is important for protecting your organisation’s valuable data and creating a secure working environment.

If your business works on devices such as laptops, desktops, smartphones or tablets you may be at risk. If your employees are using these devices to access your company’s information on your business network, without a robust cyber security plan – your data is easily targetable by cyber criminals. If you have concerns about your data or how your employees are using it – endpoint security should be on top of your list of priorities.

In this blog, we will explore the essential role of Endpoint Management in defending your digital perimeter.

Let’s get started! 

What is Endpoint Management?

Endpoint Management is a policy based control of all your business devices like laptops, desktops, smartphones, tablets and all the other devices linked to your company’s network. It’s a way to observe, protect and control them through a central point. This will make sure that all devices are working together smoothly.

The main advantage of Endpoint Management is that it protects your devices, applications and data. This means you don’t need to worry about risks like data breaches, cyberattacks or unauthorised access. With a centralised control point, all endpoints are follow the same set rules and security measures, helping you manage them easily.

Additionally, by having a good Endpoint Management system, you can boost your business’ productivity. This allows you to fix technical issues remotely as well as update software at scale, rather than individually.  This means you can make things easier for your IT team and create a safer digital environment for everyone.

What is The Importance of Endpoint Management?

Now more than ever, businesses are dependent on electronic devices. As security systems become more sophisticated, cybercriminals are evolving, leaving your network at risk and criminals able to access and misuse your confidential data. Thus it has become a necessity to protect your business from cyber threats. 

These issues have become more dangerous as they evolve with time. Endpoint management is the solution, and with a complete endpoint management plan, you can ensure all devices have the latest security updates. This will minimise the risk that hackers can access your data and systems, therefore protecting your business. 

However, endpoint management and robust cybersecurity does not guarantee impenetrable protection. What it does allow, is a centralised management system, allowing you to take quick action. It further separates affected endpoints to restrict potential damage across the network. 

What are the Endpoint Security Challenges in a Connected World?

Today’s advanced technology has made it possible to run a business from anywhere in the world. With clients, employees and servers located across the country, or even globe there are more challenges than ever with endpoint security. 

One major challenge is the huge number of devices and platforms that need protection. Handling and protecting every device, operating system and piece of software on your network can be a daunting challenge. It requires continuous and skilled effort, as well as a lot of time. 

If your business allows employees to access data from their own devices, this brings additional security concerns. Employees accessing company data from unsecured networks or using personal devices can expose sensitive information to possible threats, without appropriate security measures. 

For dealing with these challenges effectively you need a skilled and experienced vendor like Redpalm. We can provide you with a constructive endpoint management and security plan for your organisation. Contact us today!

How to Choose the Right Endpoint Manager?

Every business is different and therefore has a different set of requirements. A security plan that protects one business may not perform as effectively for your business. That is why you need to be careful when selecting an endpoint manager and think about your specific needs.
