The article emphasizes that breach prevention primarily hinges on initial access through credentials and devices, focusing particularly on the device vector. While Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools are important, they fall short by not managing unmanaged devices like personal laptops or contractor devices. These unmanaged devices could be significant security risks since they often don't comply with corporate security policies. Device trust is proposed as a solution, providing a broader security enforcement strategy that includes visibility and management of all devices accessing corporate resources, ensuring better overall security posture.
MDM and EDR solutions are effective for managing and securing devices that are enrolled and within the organizationâs control. However, they cannot provide visibility and control over unmanaged devices, such as personal laptops or phones.
Relying solely on MDM and EDR tools creates a false sense of security, whereas device trust delivers a comprehensive, risk-based approach to device security enforcement.
