Cybersecurity Depth and Breadth Determines the Degree of Business Risk
Enterprises can most effectively protect their expanding perimeter of endpoints, data, and systems from cyber threats by following a number of best practices. These include securing their hardware, encrypting and backing up all their data, and encouraging a security-centered culture. Using robust multi-layered security software, investing in cyber security insurance, limiting employee access to their data, and putting policies in place to guide their staff are all necessary for a strong security posture.
A security posture with great depth and broad coverage involves multiple layers of security controls that are designed to protect an enterprise’s expanding perimeter from threats. This approach can help limit cybersecurity risk by protecting all threat vectors, making it more difficult for attackers to penetrate an organization’s defenses.
Cybersecurity depth includes vertically deployed multi-layered capabilities
“Depth” refers to the security measures implemented within an organization’s network infrastructure and systems. It implies having multiple layers of defense to safeguard against various threats. This may include practices such as using zero trust access controls, implementing encryption, regularly updating and patching software and having robust endpoint detection and prevention. By going deep, organizations ensure that their critical assets and sensitive information are well-protected from potential attacks.”Depth” refers to the security measures implemented within an organization’s network infrastructure and systems.

Cybersecurity breadth encompasses horizontally aligned people, processes, and technology
“Breadth” comprises the coverage of security measures that safeguard various aspects of an organization’s operations. It addresses cybersecurity across different dimensions, including people, processes, and technology. A broad security posture involves not only deploying technical solutions but also incorporating comprehensive security policies and procedures, conducting regular employee training and awareness programs, and establishing incident response and disaster recovery plans. Taking a wide approach ensures that cybersecurity is holistically covering all areas that may be vulnerable to potential risks.
By combining the depth and breadth of security postures, organizations can enhance their overall resilience against cyber threats. This security posture minimizes vulnerabilities, reducing the chances of successful cyberattacks and mitigating the potential impact of any breaches that do occur.
RevBits Endpoint Security reliably defends against threats
RevBits Endpoint Security (EPS) is built upon a unique architecture, with detection mechanisms that go far beyond other endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions. RevBits EPS detection capabilities find multi-stage malicious activities attempting to impersonate Windows applications, signing processes, and trusted processes. It utilizes a three-phased analysis detection engine to detect and block malicious code and prevent false positives as well as a distinctive architectural design for application whitelisting and blacklisting, sandboxing, spawning, parent/child process analysis, and protection from malicious USB use.
RevBits EPS transparent file system runs on Windows, macOS, IOS, Linux, and Android systems, on-premises, or in the cloud. Any program not whitelisted or blacklisted immediately goes into the sandbox. Monitored at the kernel, RevBits EPS prevents malicious programs from executing changes to the file system or registry until they are approved. If the program is clean, changes are automatically applied to the file system without impacting the user. If malware is detected, all cached activities are deleted, and all changes are purged. The actual file is never impacted.
Regardless of any evasive tactics employed to obfuscate the malware, RevBits EPS evaluates the entire process, including executables, leaving no ability for malware to hide within legitimate programs and applications. This comprehensive process mitigates malware and eliminates false positives.
