Starting a new business is an exciting and stressful period in anyone’s life.  The systems, the processes, the people- everything is new, and getting it all to work together can be really a nerve-wracking experience. Further, a startup always has limited resources hence they cannot afford any downtime, time and cost associated with repairs and resuming of services or a dent to their brand name right at the start of their business. This adds up to the pressures of an entrepreneur. However, there is a brighter side to setting up something new. We can get things right from the beginning, and not have to deal with baggage of past mistakes. And it is all the more so in the case of securing the IT and information assets of the business.

The most fundamental area to address in the realm of security is Endpoint Security. Getting Endpoint Security right from the beginning will pre-empt many future security nightmares. Let’s look at it in a bit more detail.

Introducing EndPoint Security

In the realm of network security, an endpoint is any device used to access the corporate network and the Internet. It could be a laptop, mobile, tablet or an external drive built on any platform – Windows, Linux, Mac or Android. Endpoints represent a vulnerability in the corporate network because they are the point of ingress for malware and infections.

Endpoint security removes or reduces the vulnerability by making these endpoint devices secure. It continuously blocks known threats and scans for unknown ones via a software, which comprises of two parts- one at the device end, known as the client, and other at the corporate server side.  The server side authorizes logins, and manages the endpoints.
