When it comes to endpoint security, it's all about monitoring and remediation.
Cybersecurity concerns are at an all-time high, and threats are only anticipated to rise. Many enterprise organizations are doing what they can to stay on top of the risks, but IT departments face many challenges.
In many enterprise organizations, IT is overloaded. They are tasked with everything from day-to-day operations like providing technical support to getting new employees set up. With so much on their plates, the more significant initiatives like monitoring endpoints for threats and data breaches or ensuring that networks function at optimal levels can fall by the wayside.
The cards are stacked against IT teams that experience resourcing shortages while dealing with antiquated servers and limitations of their endpoint management tools. Even while understaffed, IT still spends an average of 36 hours every month on endpoint monitoring alone. According to Cybersecurity Insiders 2022 Endpoint Security Report:
To manage endpoint security, IT needs to focus on maintaining compliance and removing vulnerabilities. Rolling out patches is one of the best ways to keep organizations safe, but research revealed that 79% of critical patches continue to take more than a day to roll out, while one-third take longer than a week. Additionally, organizations reported that:
While data leaks and breaches are a considerable endpoint security concerns, another potentially costly factor is loss of end-user productivity:

To successfully defend against cyberattacks, IT teams need an endpoint management solution that can leverage automation to augment their workloads, especially when it comes to remediating vulnerabilities or monitoring endpoints to defend against threats. With malware, human error, and zero-day exploits continuing to pose some of the biggest security threats, automation is necessary to ease the burden on IT.
Automating traditionally manual tasks for IT can help:
