4 Introduction Complicated is the word that best describes the modern world of the IT manager. IT managers in small or medium sized businesses (SMBs) face a particularly challenging environment where the demands of the organization are high and resources are limited. Security is becoming a major part of the IT manager s job and delivering adequate security for any organization is more challenging than ever due to the changing threat landscape, increased mobility of end users and the costs required to implement in-depth security. The endpoint is the last mile for the organization. In many cases it is the last line of defense against threats and the majority of companies have an endpoint solution in place. However, the challenges around effectively securing and managing the endpoint are significant and go far beyond simply picking a specific product from a vendor. Administrators have to ensure consistency, constant updates and protection for employees both inside and outside the corporate network. This paper will address some of the key reasons why managing endpoint security is so complex. The current threat landscape, the sophistication of attacks and other pressures facing administrators today are some of the reasons that contribute to this complexity that in many cases can endanger the organization. It will then provide an introduction as to why a hosted endpoint solution is the answer to this complex relationship and finally, it will introduce Symantec Endpoint Protection.cloud, a solution that can help transform this relationship status from it s complicated to happily ever after. The Biggest Pressure the Evolving Threat Landscape Criminals are more sophisticated than ever. As evidenced by the January 2010 attacks on Google 1, even the largest companies can fall prey to attack. Small businesses not only have a great deal of personal information from both their employees and also their customers but may find themselves increasingly falling prey to attacks due to their lack of spending on security. 2 As their systems are generally not as well protected, the chances of an attack being discovered quickly are much lower. Conficker Virus On average, 1,919 new websites hosting malicious content are detected daily. 3 Compounded with the explosion of social media sites and increased usage of shortened URLs, it is difficult for users to determine if a site might be malicious until it s too late. The amount of malicious content coming in through an organization s gateway is staggering. In 2009 there were 107 billion spam s sent on a daily basis. 4 Those spam s paired with a growing number of targeted Trojans 1-"Hack of Google, Adobe Conducted Through Zero-Day IE Flaw", 2-Frost & Sullivan 2009 Small/Medium-sized Enterprises Risk Assessment of Network Security 3-MessageLabs Intelligence: 2010 March Security Report 4-MessageLabs Intelligence: 2009 Annual Security Report 1
5 significantly increase the risk to the endpoint. It only takes one employee visiting a site hosting malware or opening a single infected document to open up the entire organization to attackers. Given the dynamic threat landscape, it is no wonder that endpoints including desktops, laptops and file servers are vulnerable to attacks from the web and . But that is not where the threat ends. Because of USB drives and other portable storage, organizations are still not safe from accidental or intentional internal infection. Common documents have become the vehicle of choice for malware and a single infected USB stick could infect an entire organization, stealing data, passwords and account information and sending it to a malicious attacker in another country. 5 On top of all these technical challenges, SMBs also face the challenge of a growing mobile workforce with employees working not just from home, but from coffee shops and on other insecure public networks. Employees often forget or are frustrated by the overhead created by starting VPN clients and will run without a secure tunnel into the network. The Changing Strategy of Protection The strategies around protecting organizations have changed as the threats have become more sophisticated. Part of this changing strategy is what has transformed endpoint security into the complex solution it is today. A history of the changes in IT security strategy might be thought of in the following way with each new generation adding a new layer of security to the previous one: First Generation protection occurred at the endpoint directly. Second Generation hardware devices such as firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) along with content filtering devices were placed at the gateway. Third Generation cloud based solutions moved the burden of protection away from the organization completely and placed it in the hands of a company focused on security. With each layer of protection added to the organization, the endpoint became more secure. Unfortunately, today s mobile workforce nullifies many of the gains from the second and third generations of security. Once the endpoint moves outside the walls of the corporate network, the additional layers of security provided by the organization are lost. This leaves the single endpoint agent doing the same job as a wide variety of devices on the corporate network. Why is Managing Endpoint Security So Complicated?! Securing the endpoint, while complex, is a necessary evil. Many administrators wonder why it s so difficult. Both the modern organization and the vendors are to blame. The modern organization has let its workforce go mobile. The vendors have continued to add layer upon layer of protection to the endpoint. Business has driven these changes, but these changes are what brought endpoint security to the challenging state it is in today. 5-Radcliff, Deb Slurping the USB Port SC Magazine September 1,
6 For most organizations, the mobile workforce is a common trend. Unfortunately, a mobile workforce causes huge headaches for administrators. The following questions should be the absolute responsibility of IT managers: Do you know where your laptops are when not connected to the corporate network? Do you know what threats they could pick up and introduce to the corporate environment? Do you know what devices are being plugged into work laptops and desktops? Are they risk free? In addition to these challenges, wi-fi connections and peer-to-peer applications are another clear path for viruses to get into the corporate network, slowing it down or compromising it. It s Not You, It s Me As if the inherent complexity of endpoint security wasn t enough, current solutions often bring a great deal of complexity with them. For example, agents can be bloated, and policy management and reporting vary greatly. Bloated Agents Current endpoint agents can be bloated. As the threat landscape has expanded, vendors have diligently addressed this new landscape by adding layer-upon-layer of protection. And since the modern agent is designed to do all the protection from the desktop itself, all the features and functionality have to be loaded at the endpoint, often resulting in heavily bloated and large agents that take up valuable system resources and can diminish performance. Heterogeneous Environments The modern organization is full of different devices. Like many businesses, SMBs have an assortment of different computers and laptops. Even if an organization runs Microsoft Windows as its primary operating system, it is likely that many flavors of Windows exist in that environment. Whether it is Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows 2008 or any of the desktop versions of Windows, patching and updating must be handled separately for each different operating system causing management challenges for understaffed administrators. Hard to Manage Along with the variety of devices, managing updates on the wide variety of devices in the enterprise is a challenge. IT managers want something that s easy to manage and deploy. Unfortunately, the modern solution can prove to be hard to manage and complex to deploy. Updates require connection to a central server and in smaller organizations employees are often outside of the office the majority of the time. Policies change, updates occur, and while machines in the office may be protected, the mobile workforce is left out in the cold. Too Many Options Part of the reason why endpoint security is so involved is due to the wide variety of options that are offered to administrators. The wide array of options leads to dangers. Well-meaning administrators may try to tweak settings, trying to improve performance, and end up leaving their users more insecure. In addition, most endpoint security suites include 3
7 more options than organizations really need and as a result, organizations end up paying much more than they need to for the solutions they are using. Finally, the modern endpoint security suite is very complete and includes a wide variety of solutions ranging from anti-virus and security to backup protection and network access control. Most organizations want the ability to run what they need and phase in the other solutions over time. Some organizations have solutions in place and don t need the extra tools provided by a suite. In the end, IT managers can suffer in both price and performance for the vast amount of extras. The Symantec Endpoint Protection.cloud Solution Simplifies It All To compete effectively, IT managers in SMBs require sophisticated IT without the complexity.
