Michael Schröder, technology and data protection expert at ESET Germany, knows what modern endpoint protection could look like: "A high-performance anti-malware solution is mandatory for every device. In combination with a hard disk encryption and multi-factor authentication solution as well as cloud sandboxing, administrators transform PCs and laptops into the so-called multi-secured endpoint. The good thing about it: With this security four-chain, they are perfectly secured everywhere - in the company office, in the home office or in mobile use.
Encryption stops data sniffers
All information stored on the endpoint should be protected from prying eyes or in case of loss. By using encryption, those responsible kill two birds with one stone. Cyber criminals cannot do anything with the encoded data and at the same time the company complies with the requirements of the basic data protection regulation. A prerequisite for the success of encryption is user acceptance. Therefore, the solution should hardly be "noticeable" and reliable in its daily work. A good example is "ESET Full Disk Encryption" (EFDE) with pre-boot authentication, which reliably secures entire device hard disks.
From home office to network: Only with multi-factor authentication
