All The Single Agents
Symantec, Wednesday, January 7th, 2026
Exposed endpoints? That's gonna cost you. Big. Your laptop may seem innocent sitting at your desk, covered in stickers from your last trip, but it's a loaded weapon.
Endpoints are ground zero for cyberattacks-the origin of up to 90% of successful cyberattacks and 70% of data breaches. Of course, you're security savvy and have everything from your network to your morning coffee encrypted. Hate to break it to you, but attacks through encrypted channels are still on the rise, comprising over 85% of cyberattacks in 2023. These attacks are costly-draining companies of $4.4 million USD on average.
Before you chuck your laptop out the window and head back to Costa Rica for some off-grid pura vida, consider this: layering up is still the most reliable strategy you have-but it doesn't have to mean piling on agents, consoles, mismatched policies, and user headaches.
