Endpoint Infrastructure
Endpoint infrastructure is a term used by managed IT service providers to describe the systems and technologies used to manage and protect endpoints in an organization. Endpoints can include devices such as servers and equipment.
Endpoint infrastructure from INVITE includes systems for managing software and security updates, tracking and controlling access to systems and data, and protecting against malware and other threats. It also includes systems for managing and monitoring endpoints to ensure compliance with corporate security policies.
Endpoint Infrastructure & Managed IT Services
At INVITE, we realize that the companies and organizations we work with use a variety of technologies to build their endpoint infrastructure. These typically include traditional on-premises solutions such as Windows Server Active Directory and System Center, as well as cloud-based solutions such as Azure Active Directory and Microsoft Intune. We also work with a large variety of third-party solutions that our clients use to supplement their endpoint infrastructure. These solutions can be anything from programs for managing software updates, controlling access, or protecting against malware and other threats.
Because of this, endpoint infrastructure should be one of the most important parts of an organization’s overall security strategy. In fact, the majority of security threats come from user interactions with endpoints; it is often the weakest part of a corporation’s technological security.
Key Elements of Endpoint Infrastructure
When employees or customers interact with the endpoints of a company’s infrastructure, there is always the potential for malware, spyware, and other threats to enter into the organization’s overall technology system. Effective endpoint infrastructure must be able to defend against a wide range of threats, including malware, phishing, and ransomware. It must also be able to adapt to changing threats and technologies.
At INVITE, we focus on these key elements of endpoint infrastructure:
1. Security devices:
Endpoint security devices include firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and web filters. These devices work together to protect endpoints from external threats.
2. Network security:
Network security includes the policies and procedures that are used to protect the network from unauthorized access and attacks.
3. Application security:
Application security includes the measures that are taken to protect applications from attack. This includes measures such as application whitelisting and application sandboxing.
4. User security:
User security includes the measures that are taken to protect users from being exploited by attackers. This includes measures such as two-factor authentication and user activity monitoring.
5. Device security:
Device security includes the measures that are taken to protect devices from being compromised by attackers. This includes measures such as device hardening and device management.
6. Endpoint security management:
Endpoint security management includes the policies and procedures that are used to manage and monitor endpoint security. This includes measures such as security incident response and vulnerability management.
Endpoint infrastructure plays a critical role in safeguarding an organization’s technology system from various threats like malware, spyware, and other malicious activities. INVITE focuses on key elements of endpoint infrastructure including security devices like firewalls and intrusion detection systems, network security measures to prevent unauthorized access, application security for protection against attacks, data security to prevent unauthorized access and theft, user security measures such as two-factor authentication, device security to prevent compromise, and endpoint security management to ensure comprehensive security policies and procedures.
These elements work together to create a robust and effective endpoint infrastructure that can adapt to changing threats and technologies. Contact us today to learn how we can improve your company’s endpoint security.
