S1 - Incredibly Effective, Always Evolving

S1 Singularity is an extremely effective product in protecting assets in your infrastructure from attack. It gives your IT and/or security teams advanced capabilities. One is the ability to isolate one or more endpoints. This means that endpoint only can communicate with the S1 console and nothing else. Additionally, your teams have the visibility they need to understand what’s going on. I often hear people say, “But it will slow down my machines.” This is only true if you are not properly using the product and making exceptions where they need to made. I have also seen people go the opposite way and make way too many and too broad exceptions which increases the risk and defeats the purpose of the solution. The key is to ensure you understand for S1 or any similar product, that you must have people educated on how to use it. They must monitor it. This and other similar products are not set and forget. But, if you do it right (and it’s not hard), you will have a very effective defense against today’s emerging threats.
