Introduction

Endpoint security solutions has become the frontline of defence against sophisticated cyber threats in the rapidly evolving digital economy. Laptops, mobiles, tablets, IoT devices every connected device is a potential entry point for hackers. Ignoring endpoint security could cost you data, money and your brand’s reputation.

Race Ahead IT Solutions helps businesses lock down every endpoint with smart, AI-driven protection. This blog delves into best practices of Endpoint security solutions to demonstrate why endpoint security is critical for business resilience and continuity.

Why Endpoint Security Should Be Your Top Priority?

• 68% of businesses faced endpoint attacks last year.
• The average cost of an endpoint breach is $9.48 million.
• Ransomware attacks jumped 93% in 2024, targeting devices first.
• 83% of organizations state that securing endpoints is more challenging in hybrid and remote setups.
• Remote work increases the risk by 3x, says IDC.
  

Endpoint Security Solutions: Does it Matters?

Endpoints are often the weakest link in the cybersecurity chain. According to recent industry reports:

• Over 70% of successful data breaches originate from endpoint vulnerabilities.
• Remote and hybrid workforces have increased the attack surface exponentially.
• Sophisticated attacks like ransomware, phishing, and zero-day exploits often target endpoint devices.

Best Practices for Endpoint Security in 2025

1. Adopt a Zero Trust Framework

According to Forrester Research, organizations implementing Zero Trust models reduce security incidents by 50%. Verify all devices, users, and applications, and limit access based on least privilege.

2. Deploy AI-Driven EDR & XDR Solutions

Gartner predicts that by 2025, 70% of endpoint security solutions will incorporate AI and machine learning for real-time threat detection and response.

AI-driven EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response) and XDR (Extended Detection & Response) platforms help:

• Reduce incident detection time by 80%
• Lower mean time to respond (MTTR) from days to hours
• Identify fileless malware, zero-day exploits, and insider threats

3. Automate Patch Management

A Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (2024) found that 57% of breaches were due to unpatched vulnerabilities. Automate patching across operating systems, applications, and firmware to close attack gaps.

4. Full-Disk Encryption and VPN Enforcement

Reports indicate that encrypted data is 60% less likely to be exfiltrated successfully during endpoint breaches. Use FDE (Full Disk Encryption) and enforce secure VPN tunnels for all devices.

5. Mandate MFA for Endpoint Access

MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) can block 99% of credential-based attacks, according to Microsoft Security Trends (2024). It is a simple yet highly effective layer of defense.

6. Invest in Employee Awareness Training

A staggering 88% of successful endpoint breaches involve human error or social engineering (Proofpoint Human Factor Report 2024). Regular training reduces phishing click-through rates by up to 70%.

7. Centralize with Unified Endpoint Management (UEM)

According to IDC, companies that deployed UEM solutions reduced endpoint security management costs by 30% while improving compliance adherence.
