Endpoint Security

 

Shrink Your Attack Surface with Comprehensive Endpoint Protection

What Is an Endpoint Security Service?

PCs, servers, tablets, mobile phones and IoT devices are all examples of endpoints. An endpoint security service protects all endpoints that access sensitive business information. Endpoint protection is achieved through a combination of installing security tools, logging endpoint activities and alerting your IT security team of potential threats.
 
Some of the endpoints on your enterprise network are corporate devices, but roughly two-thirds of employees use personal devices at work. Not only is every endpoint a target for hackers, but each one is also susceptible to unintentional information sharing and user error.
 
Optiv experts leverage their decades of experience to deliver a comprehensive managed endpoint protection service that hardens your endpoints.

Types of Endpoint Security Services

 

Endpoint security services can be broadly classified into 1) preventive solutions such as antivirus (AV) and firewalls and 2) active monitoring solutions such as EDR and MDR.

 

  • Antivirus (AV) and Firewalls
    • Antivirus software and network firewalls provide the most basic form of endpoint security.AV software is designed to seek, detect, prevent and remove software viruses and malware and firewalls protect against attacks by shielding your network from malicious or unnecessary network traffic.

  • Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
    • EDR solutions supplement traditional endpoint security technology by enabling security analysts to record key activity on endpoints, impMDR is an outsourced technology and service that handles the integration, deployment, optimization and management of solutions within your environment, including EDR, identity threat detection and response (ITDR), threat monitoring, log management, to reduce your SecOps strain and accelerate security maturity. See Optiv MDR capabilities here.

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) / Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (MEDR)

 
EDR solutions supplement traditional endpoint security technology by enabling security analysts to record key activity on endpoints, improving their ability to investigate threats both reactively and proactively.
 
MEDR augments your next generation endpoint solution’s detection capabilities by continuously monitoring alerts and shortening your response time, with platform management services to optimize your security technologies through continuous issue discovery and resolution.

Optiv Endpoint Security Services

 

Optiv endpoint security services reduce the manual drudgery of logging device IDs, monitoring network traffic and managing firewalls. So, your IT security team can focus on other high-value activities, such as training users on best practices, upgrading system resources and detonating threats.

Endpoint Configuration Review

Having the right endpoint security tools is only half the battle. Hardening your operating systems can save you the cost and headache of deploying unnecessary products. We’ll review your endpoint system’s security configuration and compare it against CIS hardening guidelines and industry standards. We’ll report how your endpoint images align with an identified baseline and any other significant findings and recommend short- and long-term steps to improve.
