Beyond Next-gen: Defining Future-ready Endpoint Security

The term “next-gen” is commonly cited by technology vendors to position a product as being innovative based on new and differentiated capabilities. Notable next-gen cybersecurity products include next-gen firewalls, the state of the art of which now represents the standard, current-generation firewall technology. The notion of “next-gen” is now promoted by some providers of endpoint security software as a way to improve the efficacy of protecting endpoints from compromise, given the prominent role endpoints play in cybersecurity attacks, the ways in which mobility and cloud apps have expanded the attack surface area, and the multitude of threats that circumvent signature-based antivirus. Because next-gen products become current-gen and, eventually, last-gen, organizations should think strategically about their next endpoint security investment as one that can transcend generations by keeping pace with the shifting threat landscape across a broadening attack surface area.

There Is No Silver Bullet

The security landscape changed dramatically with the maturation of crypto ransomware in 2014. Not only did this new type of malware bring about a more lucrative business model for attackers, it also spurred the adoption of many so-called ‘next-gen’ endpoint security techniques. While these techniques bring impressive new capabilities to the fight against malware, there is still no one ‘silver bullet’ that can stop every threat — meaning a blend of advanced techniques is required to achieve maximum protection.

This white paper takes a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages of many of today’s threat-protection techniques, and outlines why organizations should employ a multi-layered, defense-in-depth approach to security. That approach is embodied in Trend Micro™ XGen™ endpoint security, which combines cross-generational threat protection with global threat intelligence to defend against and adapt to the latest threats.

Keeping Hires From Starting Fires

The fact that trusted employees or contractors often create problems for the organizations they work for, is unfortunate, but remains a fact. But why? Companies take steps to protect themselves against the risks that are inherent when bringing in new p…
