Shrink the Attack Surface of Endpoints with Hardware-assisted Protections

Stop advanced endpoint attacks with coordinated hardware and software protections

Summary

Modern threats have advanced to easily circumvent traditional software security tools focused on blocking known malware, meaning that attacks often evade these software-only security protections. What’s more, attackers now employ sophisticated techniques that target different layers of the computing stack, which blend in with valid system processes. This malware-free approach now comprises 71%2 of all attacks, and according to intelligence firm IDC, 70% of successful cybersecurity breaches which originate on endpoint devices. To compound this, research from IBM shows that as many as 90% of successful cyberattacks originate at endpoint devices.³

Further, hybrid work has exposed corporate endpoints which access SaaS apps outside of the traditional network security perimeter. These combined threats have effectively increased the attack surface and accelerated the adoption of cloudnative endpoint detection and response (EDR) and extended detection and response (XDR) software, as well as hardware-assisted security. However, to stay ahead of modern, fast evolving threats, it takes deep ecosystem collaboration to adequately connect cross-vendor attack surface protections into a cohesive solution.

To that end, Dell, Intel and CrowdStrike have co-engineered threat detection and response capabilities that combine the power of Dell Trusted Devices, the industry's most secure commercial PCs4, with Intel’s silicon capabilities and CrowdStrike's industry-leading endpoint security and XDR platform.⁵

Working together, these form a unique comprehensive, integrated endpoint security solution for your business which extends beyond software-only security.
