CISOs INVESTIGATE: ENDPOINT SECURITY 3 INTRODUCTION Introduction The rise of the cloud and mobile computing has rapidly changed the nature of enterprise cybersecurity. The old paradigm, where all work was done behind a company firewall, has been breaking down. Employees work not just at the office, but also on the road and at home, on mobile devices and on their own personal computers. They’re no longer using a limited stack of enterprise applications. Instead, they increasingly require access to a wide variety of apps, cloud services, and new communication platforms. The result is a much larger attack surface, one that is hard to protect with traditional approaches – and one that is growing faster than ever before as users adopt new types of devices, new applications, and new services. Often, companies don’t even know all the tools that their employees are using. At the same time, the potential threats that enterprises are facing have grown significantly in variety, capabilities, and size. Today, companies are beset not only by hackers looking for a thrill, but also by nation-state actors, hacktivists, corporate spies, small time crooks, and large criminal organizations. These adversaries have at their disposal an ever-growing collection of open-source hacking tools and commercial software. There are also online services offering ready-to-go ransomware campaigns. Meanwhile, with zero-days and other stealthy attacks, enterprises have less and less time to spot intrusions and take steps to contain them. Today’s malware, once it gets a foothold, can spread quickly. Once in an enterprise, attackers can secretly infiltrate more and more systems and collect more and more data. Or they can quickly and immediately launch large-scale ransomware attacks that can take down large numbers of computers and and lock up enterprise data. As a result, the damage caused by the attacks has also been increasing at a staggering pace, with ransomware alone reportedly crossing the $1 billion revenue threshold in
