Frequently Asked Questions
The pillars of Zero Trust include:
• Identity Verification: Continuous authentication of users and devices through multi-factor authentication (MFA) and biometric checks.
• Least Privilege Access: Granting users and devices the minimal access needed to perform their tasks.
• Micro-Segmentation: Dividing networks into smaller zones to limit lateral movement of threats.
• Continuous Monitoring: Real-time analysis of user behavior, device activity, and network traffic to detect anomalies.
• Data Protection: Encrypting sensitive data at rest and in transit to prevent unauthorized access and breaches.
Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) are used in various fields, including:
• Cybersecurity: Enhancing endpoint security through distributed intelligence and adaptive threat response.
• Industrial IoT: Managing and securing interconnected devices in smart factories and grids.
• Healthcare: Streamlining patient monitoring and automated decision-making.
• Autonomous Vehicles: Coordinating actions among vehicles for traffic management and safety.
• E-Commerce: Facilitating personalized recommendations and dynamic pricing.
Endpoint security protects end-user devices such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, and desktop PCs from cyber threats. It includes measures like:
• Antivirus and Anti-Malware: Detecting and removing malicious software.
• Encryption: Securing data stored on endpoints.
• Access Control: Ensuring only authorized users and devices can access systems.
• Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): Providing real-time monitoring and threat mitigation.
• Application Control: Preventing unauthorized applications from running on devices.
Endpoint security is critical to safeguarding organizational networks from vulnerabilities connected devices introduce.
The combination enhances endpoint security by ensuring continuous verification, reducing attack surfaces, and enabling real-time contextual risk analysis. It also provides scalable, adaptive responses to emerging threats.
