Schwartz from ISMG. Get the 2021 Endpoint Risk Report: https://www.absolute.com/go/reports/endpoint-risk-report/?utm_medium=video&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=enterprise&utm_content=news Sharing early findings from Absolute's new "2020 State of Endpoint Resilience Report", Wyatt reveals glaring holes in the security fabric of today's enterprise environments - despite the astronomical investments being made. Analyzing anonymized data from endpoints across 12,000 customer organizations, the company found that while 75 percent of enterprise PCs and laptops are running Windows 10, 80% of those have a version of the operating system that is more than a year old. In addition, in the almost half of all devices that have a VPN installed, the software is outdated, misconfigured or non-compliant with the organization's own security policies.. In a video interview with Information Security Media Group at RSA 2020, Wyatt also discusses: - The initial findings from Absolute's research into endpoint resilience - Top endpoint security shortcomings and challenges; - How enterprises can better understand if their cybersecurity investments are working.
