Is your computer putting your organization’s security at risk?
The Endpoint Assessment Test is a free tool that scans a computer and assesses whether it is a security risk to your organization. A single scan checks that:
- your Microsoft service pack is the current one for your operating system
- your Microsoft patches are all up to date
- anti-virus protection is installed, running and current
- a personal firewall is installed and running
The Endpoint Assessment Test checks for over 600 patches, 28 anti-virus applications, and 22 firewall applications. It uses the Sophos ActiveX dissolvable agent to scan in passive “report-only” mode. Once the scan is done, the agent presents the results.
Test results show 81% of corporate endpoints failed a basic check
We ran a 40-day test, collecting information from over 580 PCs worldwide. The results showed that 81% of the corporate endpoints tested failed one or more basic checks. Of all the computers tested:
- 63% were missing at least one Microsoft security patch
- 51% of endpoints tested had disabled client firewalls
- 15% had out-of-date or disabled endpoint security software
