Gartner® Report: Prioritizing Security Controls for Enterprise Servers and End-User Endpoints

As organizations focus on digital transformation and begin moving more aspects of their business to the cloud, enterprise servers have also experienced dramatic transformation. Yet, according to Gartner, “Many organizations still use the same protection controls for servers and end-user endpoints, despite these technologies’ different security requirements and threat exposure.” 

Download the full Gartner report to learn more about the steps your organization can take to reduce its risk of a server workload breach, including:

• Separating the evaluation and selection of capabilities for server security
• Using minimal base images, removing unnecessary services, and integrating preemptive security scanning to reduce the server attack surface
• Improving detection of modern threats by enabling endpoint detection and response (EDR) behavioral monitoring
• Validating server and endpoint security controls by implementing a mix of tools that includes breach and attack simulation
