Gartner Report: Endpoint and Server Security: Common Goals, Divergent Solutions

Posted by Nidhi Savla on Mon, Feb 15, 2021 @ 11:03 AM

IT infrastructure has evolved considerably over recent years, but security considerations have remained static for many organisations. As first enterprise workloads have moved out of the organization to the cloud and then increasingly due to Covid, endpoints have moved from the office to the home, security remains largely focused on protecting the perimeter of the organization.

In addition, traditional servers have been transformed into Cloud workloads, containers and agile development apps platforms, however, it is still common practice to approach this new IT infrastructure with the same security solutions that are deployed for endpoint devices, according to a recent Gartner Report

COVID-19, Changing the game of IT Security

Posted by Nidhi Savla on Mon, May 04, 2020 @ 12:51 PM

The majority of IT security is traditionally focused on securing the corporate network
at the perimeter and the core. The new reality of working remotely due to COVID-19
means the game has changed. Hackers are less interested in bypassing corporate
firewalls now they know they can attack the endpoints much more easily and gain
