INITIAL IDEA 1 - ENDPOINT SECURITY

What is Endpoint Security?

My initial idea pertains to endpoint security, which is an essential module in my cybersecurity path. Endpoint security is a cybersecurity approach used to defend endpoints such as desktops, laptops, and mobile devices from malicious activities (Crowdstrike, n.d.). According to Crowdstrike, a top endpoint security company, protecting endpoints is crucial in cybersecurity, from small businesses to large corporations.

Why Secure Your Endpoints?

The Ponemon Institute conducted a study that found 68% of organizations have experienced one or more endpoint attacks that successfully compromised data and/or their IT infrastructure (Expert Insights, 2021). Endpoints provide a large attack surface, and implementing endpoint security solutions can help reduce those attack surfaces. While it's impossible to completely eliminate cyberattacks, reducing the possibilities or chances of an attack occurring is possible.

How do you Secure your Endpoints?

According to the IEE Computer Society, the following steps are the best way to protect your endpoint:

1. Identify your endpoint
2. Data Access Policy
3. IoT Security
4. Data encryption
5. Enforce Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Policy
6. Advanced and Automated Endpoint Protection
7. Awareness

I chose DMU because it was the top school among five universities that offer cybersecurity at a bachelor’s level. I also liked the diversity of DMU, which has a high percentage of international students. DMU has been great so far. The computing tutors are helpful and understanding to everyone. My degree consists of three years of study, with four modules each year. The first-year modules are Foundation of Computing and Cyber Security, Endpoint Security, Secure Coding, and Business Infrastructure and Security. The second-year modules are Secure Scripting and Business Applications, Incident Response and Cyber Threat Intelligence, Penetration Testing, and Industrial Cryptography. The third-year modules are Malware and Attacker ...
