Certified: The CCISO Prepcast

Endpoints represent one of the largest attack surfaces in modern organizations, making endpoint protection a critical priority. In this episode, we cover the foundational components of endpoint security—including antivirus, EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), application whitelisting, configuration hardening, and data loss prevention (DLP). You’ll learn how to approach endpoint protection for traditional workstations, mobile devices, and remote users in a hybrid work environment.

From a CCISO perspective, securing endpoints requires more than just deploying tools—it means creating and enforcing endpoint security baselines, defining acceptable use policies, and coordinating with IT operations for lifecycle management. We also explore the intersection of endpoint security with BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies, mobile device management (MDM), and asset inventory practices. The exam may present scenarios involving endpoint compromise, remediation, or policy conflict—this episode prepares you to respond strategically and align controls with enterprise risk tolerance.
