Endpoint security

The start- and end-points of today's enterprise networks are radically different than they were 10 years ago. IT staffs no longer have control over every endpoint connecting to the network, leading to a host of problems where access control is weak or nonexistent. In this lesson, guest instructor Ben Rothke, Director of Security Technology Implementation for a large financial services company, provides tactics for endpoint security, policies for controlling endpoints and insight as to where endpoint security technology is headed.   Webcast: Top tactics for endpoint security   Technical article: Keeping pace with emerging endpoint security technologies   Podcast: Endpoint enforcement: Smart policies to control the endpoint explosion   Quiz   About the instructor	MAIN MENU
