Is your computer putting your organization's security at risk?
The Endpoint Assessment Test is a free tool that scans a computer and assesses whether it is a security risk to your organization. A single scan checks that:
- your Microsoft service pack is the current one for your operating system
- your Microsoft patches are all up to date
- anti-virus protection is installed, running and current
- a personal firewall is installed and running
The Endpoint Assessment Test checks for over 600 patches, 28 anti-virus applications, and 22 firewall applications. It uses the Sophos ActiveX dissolvable agent to scan in passive "report-only" mode. Once the scan is done, the agent presents the results.
Test results show 81% of corporate endpoints failed a basic check
We ran a 40-day test, collecting information from over 580 PCs worldwide. The results showed that 81% of the corporate endpoints tested failed one or more basic checks. Of all the computers tested:
- 63% were missing at least one Microsoft security patch
- 51% of endpoints tested had disabled client firewalls
- 15% had out-of-date or disabled endpoint security software
Endpoint assessment and control
If the test finds security risks on just one computer, imagine how many more in your organization could be equally vulnerable.
