Common Endpoint Security Challenges
Sensitive data can leave your organization in more ways than one. Lost devices, removable media, unauthorized access, and human error can all put confidential information at risk.
Lost or Stolen Devices
Laptops and other endpoints can contain sensitive business or client data that becomes vulnerable when a device is lost or stolen.
Unauthorized Data Access
Without encryption, someone who gains access to a device may be able to view, copy, or remove sensitive information.
Removable Media Risks
USB drives and other removable storage devices make it easy for confidential data to be transferred, intentionally or accidentally.
Compliance Requirements
Organizations subject to HIPAA, CMMC, DFARS, and other requirements may need safeguards that protect sensitive data stored on endpoints.

Why does my business need endpoint encryption?
Business devices frequently contain sensitive company, customer, employee, or regulated information. Encryption adds an important layer of protection if a device is lost, stolen, or accessed by an unauthorized person.
Does endpoint encryption protect a lost or stolen laptop?
Yes. Properly implemented encryption can help prevent someone from accessing the data stored on a lost or stolen device, even if they physically possess the hardware.
Can endpoint encryption protect USB drives?
Yes. Encryption and removable media controls can help protect data stored on USB drives while also limiting how unauthorized removable devices are used within your environment.
Does endpoint encryption help with compliance?
Encryption can support security and data protection requirements associated with frameworks and regulations such as HIPAA, CMMC, and DFARS. The specific controls your organization needs depend on the information you handle and the requirements that apply to you.
Is endpoint encryption the same as endpoint security?
No. Encryption specifically protects data from unauthorized access. Endpoint security is broader and can include antivirus, endpoint detection and response, access controls, monitoring, patching, and other protections. A strong cybersecurity strategy typically uses encryption alongside these additional controls.
