Why Traditional Approaches to Patch Management Fail in the Era of SaaS Sprawl and BYOD

Why Traditional Approaches to Patch Management Fail in the Era of SaaS Sprawl and BYOD

Aug 18, 2025
Device and software vulnerabilities pose an increasing risk to modern security. However, patch management is an infamously difficult (and downright Sisyphean) task for IT and security teams, who are faced with an ever-growing list of CVEs to remediate. This task was difficult enough in the days of on-premise environments, but a modern distributed workforce has to contend with all the users, devices, and applications that may exist outside the purview of traditional security solutions, like MDM. Overall, with the ever-growing number of CVEs and the ever-growing sprawl of shadow IT, patch management has become both more urgent and more daunting than ever. IT and security teams need to adopt zero trust methods to ensure that only healthy and patched devices are able to access their critical systems. With the help of SaaS management and employee-remediation tactics, teams can do even more to improve efficacy and support for their company-wide patch management programs.  French philo...
EDR Detects, EPM Prevents. Why Using Both is a Winning Formula for Modern Endpoint Protection

EDR Detects, EPM Prevents. Why Using Both is a Winning Formula for Modern Endpoint Protection

The Perfect Recipe for Endpoint Security Calls for Privilege Control Today's most effective ransomware attacks don't require malware; they require a login. Modern threat actors don't need to break in. They can leverage legitimate identities and their privileges to gain a foothold, then continue to capitalize on them, moving laterally to probe for more opportunities and manipulate vulnerabilities and exploits to spread ransomware and spyware. A vulnerable identity or account tied to an endpoint can quickly become an attacker's ticket to your most valuable assets and controls.  With legitimate identities being used as the initial foothold in more attacks, we're seeing less 'anomalous' activity and far more seemingly normal actions performed by a trusted, privileged user. And attackers are keenly aware of how easily they can 'hide' behind these legitimate user accounts.  This is why Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is really only one piece of the endpoint protection puzz...
