Strengthen endpoints with ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus
Endpoint security has become a critical concern for organizations of all sizes. With the increasing number of cyberthreats targeting devices and networks, ensuring comprehensive protection for all endpoints is more important than ever. ADSelfService Plus is designed to secure these devices, preventing unauthorized access and protecting sensitive data from breaches. By safeguarding endpoints against compromise through MFA, organizations can maintain the integrity of their networks and ensure their data remains secure.
Why endpoint protection matters
Endpoint protection is crucial because endpoints are often the most vulnerable parts of your network. "Since January 2023, there have been 90,945 ransomwate detections on endpoints," and, according to a study by Sophos, ransom demands in 2024 are, on average, $2 million. The increase in remote work and mobile devices has expanded the number of endpoints that need protection, making it more challenging for IT teams to secure them all effectively.
Guide to securing endpoints with ADSelfService Plus
- Implementing MFA across endpoints
- Responding to risks with conditional access
- Enforcing strong password policies
- Monitoring and reviewing audit reports
Implementing MFA across endpoints
- Secure multiple enterprise endpoints, including Windows, macOS, Linux workstations, VPN access points, RDP sessions, and Outlook web access logins.
- Utilize high assurance and phishing-resistant authenticators such as FIDO2 passkeys and biometrics to protect endpoint access.
- Enable user-based or device-bound MFA to protect all types of access to critical workstations and servers.
Responding to risks with conditional access
- Automatically scale up or scale down MFA complexity or requirements when users access their workstations or servers based on potential risk signals.
- Analyze IP address, geolocation, device, and time-based risks to dynamically adapt security requirements when users log in or access workstations.
- Leverage fully customizable rules and access conditions to prevent endpoint compromise.
Enforcing strong password policies
- Set and enforce complex password policies, including the ability to disallow password dictionary words, repetition, and patterns.
- Block compromised passwords from being used for logging into machines.
- Display exact password requirements to users during password reset or change to ensure compliance with security policies.
Monitoring and reviewing audit reports
- Regularly check audit reports to track logins to endpoints and identify potential security risks.
- Use these insights to improve your endpoint protection strategy continuously.
The pros of protecting endpoints with ADSelfService Plus
ADSelfService Plus offers specific features that directly contribute to enhancing endpoint security. Here are some of the key benefits:
Prevent endpoint compromise
ADSelfService Plus significantly reduces the risk of endpoint compromise by implementing MFA and enforcing strong password policies. These features ensure that even if passwords are exposed, unauthorized access is prevented, thereby protecting sensitive data and systems from potential breaches.
Establish Zero Trust
The platform supports a Zero Trust security model by enforcing conditional access policies. This means that every access attempt is verified based on user identity, device, and location, ensuring that only trusted users and devices can access the network. By adopting this model, organizations can effectively mitigate risks associated with unauthorized access to endpoints.
Address compliance requirements
ADSelfService Plus helps organizations meet various compliance requirements by enforcing strict password policies, providing detailed audit trails, and ensuring secure access management. Features like multi-factor authentication and custom password policy enforcement assist in maintaining compliance with industry standards and regulations, reducing the risk of penalties and enhancing overall security posture.
