With the sudden and massive shift to remote work, organizations and their endpoints have never been more vulnerable. Malicious actors are taking advantage of this situation, exploiting an unprecedented opportunity to breach organizations worldwide using endpoints as the top attack vector. Clearly, protecting endpoints today is more critical than ever.
To help security professionals assess their options, we listed below the five guiding principles for choosing the optimal endpoint security solution in the new normal.
With the sudden and massive shift to remote work, organizations and their endpoints have never been more vulnerable.

As evidence, just recently Check Point Research confirmed a 50% increase in daily ransomware attacks across the globe.
