End point devices are the most vulnerable to be exploited. Zero-day, ransomware, malware, file-less attacks are common threat vectors against end point devices. Factors which make end point devices vulnerable are:

• Poor or missing patch management practices. Most breaches leverage vulnerabilities which are known for a year or more.
• End users unaware of the kind of threats and preventive measure to be taken by them
• Cyber criminals have access to sophisticated, automated tools for ahcking and mutating malware
• Infected malware on end points used to recce the environment and laterally move across the organization. Cyber criminals are persistent.
• Hard to detect exfiltration of sensitive data from end points without sophisticated detection platform
