DEVICE SECURITY
As organizations become more distributed and telework becomes more common, the endpoint has become a vital component of enterprise cybersecurity.

Endpoint Detection and Response
As organizations become more distributed and telework becomes more common, the endpoint has become a vital component of enterprise cybersecurity. If a teleworker’s computer is compromised by an attacker, they can take advantage of that access to steal sensitive information from that device or use its connection to the enterprise network to gain access to corporate systems and data.
Organizations’ security teams are facing an array of cybersecurity challenges that impact their ability to protect the enterprise, and two of the biggest challenges are the security implications of increased telework and the cybersecurity skills shortage.
The traditional endpoint antivirus solutions have few limitations considering the advancements in the threat landscape:
- Traditional antiviruses are no longer suitable for providing security to your network as hackers have become smarter and devised malware and threats which can easily bypass antiviruses.
- They do not have or have limited cloud-based intelligence, machine learning, statistical modelling, etc. which are very helpful for your IT team.
- They have this drawback as they took considerable space on the endpoints and burdened it.
- They have limited or no application whitelisting and blacklisting options.
- Limited or no Real-Time Incident Response and Management.
CyShield helps organizations with Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solution that records and stores endpoint-system-level behaviours, uses various data analytics techniques to detect suspicious system behaviour, provides contextual information, blocks malicious activity, and provides remediation suggestions to restore affected systems providing benefits like:
- Proactive Threat Detection and Real-Time Incident Response
- Behavioural Analysis
- Forensic Capabilities
- Data Encryption and Privacy Controls
- Threat Intelligence Integration
- Provides real-time and historical visibility
- Updates and Patch Management (Limited to some solutions)
- Integration with Other Security Tools like SIEM, Network Forensics etc.
Mobile Device Management
Employees have become increasingly accustomed to using the device, operating system, and application of their choice. Because of the diversity of mobile devices, IT departments face a unique set of challenges while deploying and connecting internal content and resources. Also, Employees’ mobile devices have become targets of malware, hackers, and exploitation due to the large amounts of data that is stored and transferred on each device.
Many factors have elevated mobile device management's importance to the C-suite. These include:
- Massive deployment of mobile applications requires tools to protect and manage assets.
- Growing concerns over security breaches stemming from employee mobile device usage.
- Malware and ransomware: Users can unknowingly download malware through email attachments, infected websites, or fake apps.
- BYOD policies: Using personal devices for work blurs lines between personal and professional data, increasing risks.
- Security for Internet of Things (IoT) devices: Many IoT devices have weak security features, making them vulnerable to attack. Additionally, these devices often collect and transmit a lot of data, which can be a privacy concern.
- Standardization of mobile device management practices and processes.
CyShield can enable organizations with a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution that allows IT to automate, control, and secure administrative policies on laptops, smartphones, tablets, or any other device connected to an organization’s network. The solution also provides additional advantages for an organization to improve their IT security, efficiency, manageability, and support.
- Strengthened security: MDM can take preventative measures against cyberattacks, data leaks, unauthorized accesses, and more.
- Bring your own device (BYOD): Secure business apps, encrypt work data and separate it from personal data, no intrusion on user privacy for employees using their own laptop or mobile device for work.
- Mobile application management (MAM): Mobile application management enables organizations to apply policy control functionalities to their applications.
- Mobile content management: Enforce security policies such as authentication, copy and paste restriction, and file sharing to secure the content.
- Enhanced efficiency: With MDM, IT Team can easily deploy and manage updates to ensure that all mobile endpoints receive the latest software, thus boosting overall productivity.
- Increased manageability: No matter where mobile devices are located, IT Team can monitor and manage them remotely with MDM.
- Improved support: MDM automates many time-consuming processes and provides excellent support for IT teams.
Modern Workspace Security
Organizations are extending flexibility and agility to work anywhere, anytime and on any device, enhancing job satisfaction and engagement. This also poses some challenges for IT Teams to manage and secures apps, devices and network, to provide safe and seamless access to all the tools and data that employees need to perform at their best.
CyShield offers Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solutions which can be integrated with other solutions like MDM, MFA and SSO to enable a secure modern workspace for enterprises extending the following benefits:
- Improved Security: Control every device, apps, data & OS in your network to prevent security breach, by virtualizing & delivering desktop apps from centralized datacentre.
- Empower BYOD users: Allow employees, consultants and vendors to use devices of their choice, without having to compromise with security or to hinder workflow.
- Protect critical applications: Run critical apps in an isolated environment, hiding them from users' devices and networks, preventing malware attacks and data leakage attempts.
- Safe internet browsing: Isolate internet from corporate networks via remote virtual browser, to enable a clean network and fend off cyber-attacks.
- Improved Productivity: Provide anywhere, anytime access to business apps to increase mobility & productivity.
- Compliance: Ensure that business is always in control of meeting existing data privacy guidelines and compliances.
IT-OT Security
The growing connection between industrial production networks and office networks as part of IT/OT integration and the utilization of the Internet of Things have many benefits for industrial / manufacturing companies, including digitalized processes and cross-company collaboration in ecosystems. At the same time, they also increase the risk of cyber threats and challenges to handle data optimally and securely.
Operational technology (OT) uses hardware and software to manage industrial equipment and systems. Industrial control systems (ICS) are one of the most prominent forms of OT, they control and monitor the performance of industrial processes and deploy systems to gather and analyze data in real time to manage plant equipment. These systems typically use programmable logic controllers (PLCs), which use information from sensors or devices to perform tasks like monitoring machine productivity, tracking operating temperatures, and automating machine processes.
Protecting these systems becomes even more critical as they become more connected, which opens up new vulnerabilities for cyber criminals to exploit and gain access to industrial networks. At the same time, there is convergence of IT-OT Security to address OT’s vulnerabilities by leveraging IT security’s ability to detect cyberattacks and the strategies it employs to prevent and respond to threats. Furthermore, as OT systems become more connected, they rely on baseline IT security controls and policies to minimize the impact of attacks.
CyShield offers solutions to achieve unmatched visibility, protection, and threat detection across the Extended IoT (XIoT) – OT, IoT, BMS, IoMT and more in such environment to extend following capabilities:
- Discovery, visibility, and categorization of assets and data flows.
- Support for proprietary industrial protocols.
- Vulnerability information.
- Threat intelligence management.
- Integration with IT security tools.
