Endpoint protection is a critical component of a security strategy. But it\u2019s not enough.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s threat landscape is so wide and varied, it requires round-the-clock monitoring, full visibility into IT environments and a multilayered approach to keep hackers at bay. For MSPs, this creates a sizable opportunity to protect clients with a comprehensive security strategy that goes beyond endpoint detection and response.<\/p>\n
But most MSPs are still too focused on endpoint detection and response, which can leave parts of the network unprotected. A lot of threats today are stealthy, disguising themselves and hiding until the right time to strike, and traditional environments aren\u2019t set up to stop such threats because they\u2019re often split into silos containing applications that perform specific tasks. The silos don\u2019t communicate with each other, making it impossible to assemble a contextual view of threats and slowing down investigation and response.<\/p>\n
MSPs can improve their clients\u2019 security posture with a unified security approach that includes central visibility and monitoring, the ability to investigate threats that at first may appear harmless, and fast response capabilities. Here are three compelling reasons to deliver detection and response beyond the endpoint:<\/p>\n
