Enabling Endpoint and Network Security with the SANS 20 Critical Security Controls

More connected devices means a greater potential for security breaches. This paper explores the market trends complicating endpoint security today and explains the 20 Critical Security Controls defined by the SANS Institute for achieving endpoint security. To ensure success and create the necessary synergies between networking groups, security groups and endpoint management groups, the paper breaks down the Critical Security Controls into related areas:

• Operational and endpoint security
• Network access
• Data protection and backup
• Security assessment, performance and training
