Connect device protection, maintenance and access decisions.
Security depends on how computers, accounts, email and shared systems work together. A device that is rarely used can still hold important information or provide access to the rest of the business.
Start with the systems you have
Keep an inventory of computers and important applications. Review updates, account permissions and the way people connect remotely. Record exceptions so they can be addressed rather than forgotten.
Different controls do different jobs
Antivirus helps identify malicious software. Endpoint detection and response records device activity to support investigation and response. Managed detection and response adds an agreed monitoring and response service; it does not make every support request a round-the-clock service.
Choose by the work and risk
Consider the data on each device, administrator access, shared systems and the impact of an interruption. Use the current plan comparison to check inclusions, then agree any additional controls and their delivery scope.
