Typical suspicious patterns
Viruses, Trojans, worms, ransomware, and other types of malwares can be executed on endpoints—this is what standard endpoint security software and systems protect against, but there are two major problems with this.
The first problem is that when one of these malwares gets to your end device, it is being fought at the gate—that is to say, you fight it when it has already reached your devices. In most cases, you will win the war, but if you do not, the enemy is in your home.
The second, more common problem is that not all devices can be protected with standard endpoint security systems. You cannot install anti-virus on an IoT sensor; some of the software that is used is open source, which has no safety guarantee, and although the network access control (NAC) system approves users when they connect to the network, you can never be 100% sure that a private phone or laptop is not infected.
For this reason, one of the new concepts in...
