End Point Security |
|
A
network having firewalls, central virus scanners and other intrusion
detection or intrusion prevention devices is deemed to be held
responsible for securing every network end-point devices also. Well,
that may not be true in many of the cases. You may have disabled
external media on the desktops / laptops, you may have stringent
security policies at the gateway level and you may have the updated
centralized anti-virus server, but still you are always prone to the
attacks that may come in the form of emails, browsing, secured sites
(claiming to be secured) or other intentional mischievous minds.
To put an end to these vulnerabilities in the network we propose you
End Point Security solutions. An End Point Security basically means
that each device (end-point) is responsible for its own security. It
places the onus of security on the device itself, thus making your
network much secure than ever before. It, thus, keeps you away from
unwanted worries such as external media resources used by the users or
an infected laptop entering into the network, etc. This also makes your
users happy and your IT Team more productive as they can invest their
crucial times in handling other network resources.
A variant of the End point security is the on demand end point of
security. In this concept the server sends active-x or java component
which does the following in the client pc:
Profiling of the client environment from perspective of firewall, antivirus, patches etc,
memory protection program to create virtual desktop whose memory is
different from that of the host system, and it deletes all data on exit.
End Point Security solution essentially involves the following:-
- Identifying
whether networked devices such as laptops, IP phones, or game consoles
are compliant with your network's security policies and repairs any
vulnerabilities before permitting access to the network.
- Authenticates
users in the network on the basis of their devices, their roles and
their policies as defined by the administrator. This first step occurs
at the point of authentication, before malicious code can cause damage.
- Evaluates nodes with defined security policies such as specific antivirus or anti-spyware software, OS updates, or patches.
- Enforces
security policies by blocking, isolating, and repairing noncompliant
machines, if found vulnerable or out of date.
- Noncompliant
machines are redirected into a quarantine area, where remediation
occurs at the discretion of the administrator. An alternative to this
general practice can also disallow the machines from the access to the
network.
At SNAIPL, we urge most of our
customers to consider end point security as a very important element
for their network security. The solution certainly gives you an edge
over your competitors as you will always know when, where, what and by
whom the data is accessed and for what purposes.
We are just a call away to help you build your network much secured than before. |
