Endpoint Security Software Assumes a Lapse in Judgment

Friday, September 4th, 2009 by clear-blue-security

To Click or Not To Click?

That is the question racing through the mind of the second shift employee who is being suckered by a phishing URL. There is only one answer to the question but time and time again IT Professionals need to be prepared for a lapse in good judgment.

Despite training and constant reminders, employees fall victim to the simplest lures. We all want to know who Britney Spears is dating but it only takes one employee to click on the ‘find out’ hyperlink in a harmless looking email. Sadly, a sudden lapse in employee judgment can become tomorrow’s headline when data is stolen from an unsuspecting endpoint.

In the August 29th “State of Phishing” report published by Symantec, there was a 52 percent increase in phishing attacks from the previous month.

The problem is worsened with laptops and remote computers. When the cat’s away, the mice will definitely play. Most mobile employees take personal ownership of the corporate laptop; downloading music, games and visiting social networks. Outside the security of the corporate network, all goes undetected.

IT Professionals need to ensure endpoint security applications, browser applications and operating systems are up to date and running effectively. Clear Blue Security’s endpoint security software is the answer to immediately implementing security policies and monitoring out of network endpoints.

Remote Endpoint Security Solution for Managed Service Providers

Thursday, August 13th, 2009 by clear-blue-security

Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are searching for ways to lower operating costs while providing better service to their clients. Implementing a remote endpoint security solution is one of the best ways to reduce the risk of client network outages and lost business continuity.

Because MSPs are responsible for the client infrastructure, they are also responsible for the tools required to manage it. Remote monitoring and remediation allows an MSP to increase their geographic reach and lower their costs by automating otherwise manual tasks. The savings can be passed on to the client or kept as profit for the MSP. 

Most remote endpoint security solutions require heavy up-front costs in the form of hardware, software and implementation, making them out-of-reach for smaller MSPs and too costly to deploy at SMB customers.

Clear Blue Security has compiled a list of requirements from MSPs who service small and medium sized businesses and have a dire need for an affordable endpoint security solution:

The endpoint security solution has to be lightweight and easily deployed:

The implementation cost for traditional monitoring products is high due to set-up and hardware costs. When implementing at SMBs, any hardware costs are usually covered by the MSP, not the client.

The endpoint security solution must be non-intrusive:

MSPs cannot risk service levels when introducing a tool that helps lower their costs. Implementation must appear seamless to the client.

The endpoint security solution must automatically monitor and alert vulnerabilities:

The cost of manual monitoring is too high and causes the MSP to provide less security for the client.

The endpoint security solution must work in a heterogeneous security environment:

SMB clients cannot afford to switch anti-virus vendors to accommodate the needs of an MSP remote monitoring tool. 

Clear Blue Security is the only remote endpoint security solution for MSPs that meets the requirements of small/medium sized businesses.
