Sustainable enterprise security is both a great practice and a core business process. Enterprises are increasingly becoming aware of the diverse & intense nature of threats that exist in cybersphere and the damage it can cause – that’s where strong enterprise security solutions come in.

This is step one – enterprise security consists of ever-evolving complex layers that are never in stasis. Hence, after every cycle, security mechanisms only tend to get stronger. However, cyberattackers are getting extremely savvy and sophisticated in their malware onslaught, ensuring that attacks are timed to penetrate endpoints during cybersecurity transitional phases.

Hence, here are some easy-to-prevent flaws that can creep in when enterprises try to secure their endpoints.

  1. Lack of proper enterprise security policies

Enterprise security policies cannot be ad-hoc – this process needs to be implemented right from the beginning, and that is where strong enterprise security takes root. The best strategies can be ineffective if they are not backed up with strong security policies.

When it comes to enterprise security, organizations must be proactive in drafting policies. The crux of these security policies should consist of employee dos and don’ts, workforce collaboration that supports cybersecurity, human resource initiatives on malware literacy, among many others and should be complied to and regularly updated so that business security is never at risk.

  1. Inability to prioritize security integration of mobiles into enterprise networks

Mobile phones as work devices are seeing increasing adoption in the enterprise. Employees, that leverage this facility need to bind their devices with enterprise security ports so that business-critical data is not compromised. Due to rising attacks on mobile devices, Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) has become a must for businesses of all sizes that allow this facility. Solutions like Seqrite mSuite are excellent solutions through which employees can safely access productivity apps on BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) or CYOD (Choose Your Own Device) platforms while maintaining strong security.

  1. Compliance with regulations

Most companies nowadays operate under some sort of regulatory control of their data, for example, HIPAA for private health information or the FERPA for student records. Often this information is stored in the cloud with the intention of keeping this ultra-sensitive data hidden from cybercriminals. As such, leaking of this information can have serious consequences – hence enterprises should be vigilant about being compliant about the nature of data and it’s storage.

  1. Faulty access permission

Enterprises can build the strongest firewalls at par with military standards, but the framework will collapse if appropriate access control mechanisms are not put in place.  Essentially, system administrators need to grant precise access to business users based on their role in the organization. This ensures that insider breaches do not happen and sensitive information remains confidential. Also, if hackers gain direct access to employee systems, they can break-in creating a demolition kind of scenario for any business.

  1. Not taking employees into confidence

Employees are the backbone for maintaining cybersecurity decorum. Hence, enterprises should consider taking employees into consideration and be confident about them as they look to implement cybersecurity solutions. They must be made aware of the dangers of weak enterprise security, the steps they can take and the warning signs they should look for. Since cyberthreats are highly dynamic and dangerous, if organizations don’t train employees properly, they are highly prone to be internal agents and channels of a guaranteed cyberattack.

After covering these flaws internally, enterprises should choose to invest in proven cybersecurity solutions such as Seqrite Endpoint Security (EPS) which offers a simple and comprehensive platform integrating several advanced technologies in one place for protection against advanced cyber threats.

EPS also comes packed with other vital features such as –

  • Web Filtering
