Are your endpoint defences evolving as fast as threats?

Traditional endpoint cyber defences are inadequate

The widespread damage caused by WannaCry and Petya demonstrated that the current state of endpoint security is simply inadequate. As this new generation of malware exhibited evasive behaviour and self-propagation capabilities, many monitoring systems were unable to detect their presence.

Most organisations today are not prepared for these unknown threats - new classes of cyberattacks that have never been encountered before. Traditionally, anti-virus solutions rely on signatures to detect known threats. This approach is ineffective when an unknown threat hits, because the malware does not express any indicators that the solution can detect.

With the Internet of Things and BYOD adoption, the number of endpoints will continue to grow. This means that the attack surface for hackers is larger than ever before, hence it is crucial for enterprises to strengthen their endpoint defences, and employ new approaches such as behaviour-based security.

A behaviour-based security platform can continuously monitor all your endpoints, watching for suspicious, abnormal or malicious behaviour. The thousands of malware variants still rely on the same fundamental behaviours to do damage. As behaviour-based security does not rely on a fixed set of signature data, it is able to recognise polymorphic malware that alters its characteristics, or unknown malware that has not been seen before.

Our approach: Endpoint protection lifecycle

Singtel’s Managed Endpoint Threat Detection and Response Service uses a unique combination of real-time capture, behavioural analysis and machine learning to protect all your endpoints. And by taking an integrated lifecycle approach to endpoint protection, you are better positioned to thwart malicious activity and to strengthen your defences against future attacks.

Detect:

Endpoint sensors use real-time surveillance to identify attacker behaviour and capture all events and processes as the malware attack unfolds. Behavioural analysis of both known and unknown malware is performed.

Analyse:

After threats are identified, threat data is collected and analysed. Behavioural analysis is correlated with threat intelligence for real-time, advanced forensics.

Respond:

Affected endpoints are quarantined to prevent further threat infiltration and threats are remediated based on attack data collected. Threat intelligence is generated to harden endpoints against future attacks.

 

Our Managed Endpoint Threat Detection and Response Services, delivered through our Managed Security Services, will protect your endpoints from the attack.
