CISOs’ Dirty Little Secret: Endpoint Security Tools Are Failing Miserably

Despite having endpoint data controls, only 7% of cybersecurity teams are confident they’re effective. The TAG report shows that while fancy tools abound, the basics like endpoint backup are often neglected. Time to focus on solid endpoint protection before adding more bells and whistles.

Hot Take:

It’s official: the real cybersecurity threat isn’t some shadowy hacker in a dark room; it’s the glaringly obvious holes in our endpoint security that everyone knows about but no one seems to fix. Time to trade in our fancy tools for some good old-fashioned common sense!

Key Points:

  • 93% of cybersecurity teams have endpoint data controls, but only 7% trust them.
  • 71% of CISOs wouldn’t be shocked by a serious data breach on business PCs and laptops.
  • TAG highlights an overreliance on employee actions and misuse of cloud collaboration tools.
  • Advancing overall cybersecurity maturity has created a false sense of endpoint security.
  • TAG introduces the MEAD model for simplified, effective endpoint security.
