Endpoint Security Management Solutions Overview

Fueled by dynamic authentication methods, advances in mobile devices & technologies and varying users communities including employees and guests access, enterprise IT managers are adopting an e-business strategy for universal cross platform access management. As a result of increasing operational costs and network threats, the slow growth of a trusted mobile e-business framework as inspired the quest for centralized identity-based endpoint security management solutions.

Problem

Despite the universal acceptance of VPN/IP Sec, antivirus & firewall products, IT organizations are facing increasingly sophisticated security challenges for securing mobile devices and mobile users that cause the most frequent enterprise security breaches. Advances in Wi-Fi, wired broadband, and mobile data further complicate of access control management for any IT organization. The annual cost of supporting a mobile workforce and confronting threats caused by viruses, spyware, worms, and other malware can easily outpace IT budgets.
