Back then, endpoint security focused on computers, which meant the installation of antivirus, malware protection, firewall, and (sometimes) VPN in every computer. Unfortunately, it is no longer as simple as it used to be in the past. Nowadays, endpoints are way more than their numbers from a couple of decades ago.

Take Action To mitigate these threats, organizations should ensure SonicWall and other VPN products are fully patched and up to date. Restricting firewall management access to trusted sources and, where possible, disabling internet access to the wide area network (WAN) management portal can further strengthen defenses.

Detection only identifies malicious behavior but won’t take action to block or prevent attacks when one is detected. Prevention systems can adjust firewall rules on the fly to block or drop malicious traffic when it is detected but they do not have the robust identification capabilities of detection systems.
