Introduction
A constantly expanding attack surface is one of the biggest security concerns.

In the past, organizations were required to safeguard their physical location and a small number of
devices within it, such as servers, desktops, network devices, and printers. Today, as organizations
continue to adapt to the pandemic and implement BYOD and remote work policies, the attack surface is
expanding to encompass employees' home networks and personal devices that can access company
data, increasing the number of vulnerable endpoints.

All of these are possible entry points for hackers, and when employees work from home, the organization
has less visibility over its endpoints, which increases the cyber risks. Thus, endpoints are the weakest link
in every business network today, making them susceptible to a range of cyberthreats, such as
ransomware and data leaks. Cyberthreats of this nature can cause significant financial losses and severe
reputational damage for businesses. Centralized solutions are becoming ineffective, and establishing
smart, powerful endpoint security is of the utmost importance to defend an organization and its entire
network from cyberthreats.

This e-book discusses how organizations can mitigate risks to their endpoint security by implementing
the recommendations of the United States' Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
The e-book also explains how these recommendations can be easily implemented in your organization
with ADSelfService Plus, ManageEngine's integrated, self-service solution for password management,
MFA, and SSO.
