Neglect of endpoints presents a major security gap for enterprises

Quick Summary:

A new report shows that endpoint platform security -- securing the hardware and firmware of PCs, laptops and printers -- is often overlooked, weakening cybersecurity posture for years to come.

The report from HP Wolf Security is based on a global study of over 800 IT and security decision-makers (ITSDMs) and over 6,000 work-from-anywhere (WFA) employees, it shows that platform security is a growing concern with 81 percent of ITSDMs agreeing that hardware and firmware security must become a priority to ensure attackers cannot exploit vulnerable devices.

This is leading to costly security headaches, management overheads and inefficiencies further down the line.
