What Is Agentless Threat Discovery? Unlike previous days your computer and network system that used to be all in one room that can be viewed and secured by on person in that room, today your have networks stretching over cities, states, and even countries borders using servers and the World Wide Web.
Today we have what is known as B Y O D (bring your own device) and this is whether we are talking about security or your laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
This is also where we get the Agentless Threat Discovery ( A T D ) as it is a way to control what and who has access to your servers and or its information.
A T D software is such a great incentive for your companies network security because :
- many staff members bring different devices daily to work
- every visitor to your business has their own, it not more than one smart device
- all these devices will have automatic access capabilities to “try” and access your servers and networks
- your A T D software can not only in an instant recognize every single device entering your premises but can see which of those are trying to access your networks and servers
- by doing so they can either allow or disallow depending on who it is and what is requested, as well as limit what you have access too.
- as all networks expand and contract as per the number of users and devices vary during the day, so does the A T D software to control everything and control your security in one clean constant sweep.
- as for your daily workers that use your networks and gain access to information, A T D will monitor and log these access pints and information and keep records and at any time have reports drawn up if your go “off-course”: of you normal duties or by manual request by management or even for future references for evaluation asper your duties and compensation and promotions.
- it can analyze used and downloaded data in an instant and as it is happening, that might be sensitive or a threat if removed which can take normal security threat systems days or weeks to pick up and then it may be too late
- by having this “immediate response system” to possible threats and or leaks, it not only gives the A T D the ability to block the downloading or access of that sensitive information and have the personnel department alerted of it but if it is legitimate access by legitimate personnel then it can be easily remedied by the HR and security access re-grants.
