>Users and devices are the endpoints of the organization and need both protection from attacks and safe access to resources. User and Device Security provides both signature-based and behavior-based endpoint protections with the ability to remediate the effects of an attack. For safe access, our solutions provide zero-trust controls for identifying users, authenticating them, and then granting them access to networks and applications. This includes user-associated devices such as laptops and mobile phones as well as non-user-associated devices such as IP cameras, printers, and badge readers.
