Overview
What Is Endpoint, Network and Zero Trust Security?
Coordinated protection for devices, networks and remote access, based on zero trust principles.
The Need
- Devices and users spread across offices, homes and cloud
- Network perimeters that no longer match how people work
- Separate security tools that do not work together
The Approach
- Protect endpoints with modern detection and response
- Segment and secure networks and branch connections
- Verify users and devices before granting access
Assumptions and Dependencies
- An inventory of devices, sites and access paths
- Identity in place to support access decisions
- Agreed policies for devices and remote access

Measuring Success
How to Measure Success
Example measures, not results achieved by Signisys. Agree a baseline, and keep targets separate from measured results.
Endpoint Coverage
The share of devices with protection active and up to date.
Blocked Threats
Threats stopped at endpoints, email and the network.
Time to Contain
How quickly an affected device is isolated.
Remote Access Exceptions
The number of users with broad, unrestricted access.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about endpoint and network security.
What business problem does this solution address?
Devices, networks and remote access that are exposed to attack, with separate tools that do not work together.
How does the solution work?
It combines endpoint protection, network segmentation, zero trust access and email security under shared policies.
Which environments can it support?
Offices, branches, remote users and cloud, across common device types and servers.
What prerequisites should we assess?
Your device inventory, sites and access paths, current security tools and identity setup.
Which services are available to implement it?
Cybersecurity and Digital Trust and IT Infrastructure, Networking and Data Center and Cloud Computing and Platform Engineering and End-User Computing and Device Lifecycle, covering assessment, implementation and ongoing improvement where agreed.
How do we know it is working?
Agree a baseline for measures such as endpoint coverage, blocked threats, time to contain and remote access exceptions, and track them over time.
