Prevention in a Work from Home World

The recent shift towards work from home environments is met with a host of security challenges. The loss of enterprise network controls and the use of personal computers for business tasks are just a couple of examples of how this “new normal” is creating an increased security risk. A renewed focus on prevention may hold the answer. Endpoint security architecture can be broken down into three main elements: Prevention, Detection, and Remediation. Prevention should be considered the most strategically important defense element, as by default time zero prevention dramatically reduces latency, risks and operational costs of the security structure as a whole. As advanced threats evolve and data center transformation forces enterprise teams to consolidate security, the need for faster, easier and more deterministic threat prevention is essential. This is especially true in the work from the home world we live in, where we have to rely on endpoint controls and detection and remediation are even more challenging.
