Why is it so hard to secure your endpoints? The most simplistic reason is because endpoints are in the hands of human beings who can inadvertently click on a link that introduces malware or unwittingly use an unsecure Internet connection which allows threat actors to access a corporate network. Organizations became more prone to breaches over the course of the pandemic because more and more workers were not inside corporate walls (and firewalls) and instead worked from places like a home office

There’s an old saying in a number of languages that’s handy for most of us to keep in mind. In Spanish, it’s “Tienes lo que pagas.” In Danish, it’s “Du får hvad du betaler for.” In English, we say “You get what you pay for.” That proposition lies behind businesses’ repeated attempts to update their executive bonus plans, to find the best ways to motivate their top leaders to create real value for shareholders.
