# Overview

> Basic information about the **CyStack Endpoint** management platform

<Card>
  **CyStack Endpoint** is an enterprise-grade endpoint security platform designed to help you:

  * **Comprehensively control** all devices within the infrastructure (laptops, desktops, and mobile devices).
  * **Monitor** device security posture in real-time.
  * **Detect and prevent** threats before they impact business operations.
</Card>

Replacing fragmented device management tools, **CyStack Endpoint** offers a unified solution that simplifies administration for IT and security teams.

## 1. Asset and Device Management

**CyStack Endpoint** provides centralized management capabilities for all organizational devices:

* Automatically detect and register all devices connecting to the network, ranging from corporate-owned assets to personal devices (<code>BYOD</code>).
* Track granular information about hardware, software, security status, and activity history for each endpoint.
* Alert on new devices, unauthorized connections, or devices that do not comply with access policies.

<Tip>
  **Goal:** Enable enterprises to maintain full visibility over their fleet, minimizing the attack surface presented by "shadow" or unidentified devices.

## 2. Identity and Access Management

Addresses the critical challenge of **verifying who is using a device and which actions they are granted to carry out.**

* Authenticate users accessing devices and internal resources.
* Manage access rights using Role-Based Access Control (<code>RBAC</code>), ensuring personnel only access information necessary for their role.
* Support Multi-Factor Authentication (<code>MFA</code>) to protect accounts from unauthorized access.
* Enforce context-aware access controls based on geographical location, device posture, and time of access.

<Tip>
  **CyStack Endpoint** goes beyond device management by integrating deeply with **user identity** and **access rights**, establishing a primary layer of defense against both internal and external threats.
</Tip>

## 3. Data Protection

Data is a critical enterprise asset, and **CyStack Endpoint** ensures it remains secure even if the physical device is compromised:

* Encrypt drives and local data to prevent information leaks in the event of device loss or theft.
* Perform periodic backups of critical data to mitigate the impact of ransomware.
* Monitor and alert on suspicious activities regarding data access or file replication.
* Integrate built-in Data Loss Prevention (<code>DLP</code>) mechanisms.

<Tip>
  **CyStack Endpoint** provides peace of mind by ensuring data stays secure, even when devices are no longer in physical custody.
</Tip>

## 4. Policy Management

Minimize operational errors and ensure compliance with security standards by automating policy enforcement and monitoring:

* Define and deploy security policies based on <code>CIS v8</code> standards for specific device groups or users.
* Automatically validate compliance levels and detect policy violations in real-time.
* Maintain comprehensive logs and audit trails to support incident investigation and security auditing.
* Dynamically update policies to align with operational requirements and the evolving cybersecurity landscape.

<Tip>
  Through centralized policy management, **CyStack Endpoint** empowers enterprises to proactively control device security without relying on manual, error-prone processes.
