Google Endpoint Security Research Brief

In the year 2016 alone, the world learned about security breaches that compromised nearly 2 billion records. Employee endpoints are increasingly targeted: Nearly two-thirds (64%) of external attacks last year targeted a corporate-owned, employee-owned, or mobile device.

Data breaches cost companies time and money, weaken brand reputation, and jeopardize customer and employee trust. As companies embrace cloud services and encourage employee mobility, digital interactions with company resources have become more distributed and virtualized, blurring the traditional concept of the endpoint.
