Control objective
Focus mainly on malware status or whether the endpoint agent is installed.
Combine endpoint protection, data controls, peripheral governance, and traceability by role.
ICSInternational Cyber SecurityProtect endpoints and prevent data loss across distributed work environments with centrally governed policy.
Control sensitive data and risky endpoint activity with evidence that can support operations and compliance.

Use these areas to confirm fit, dependencies, ownership, and the evidence required for acceptance.
Use these areas to confirm fit, dependencies, ownership, and the evidence required for acceptance.
Apply security controls across managed devices and distributed users.
Define and enforce how sensitive data can be accessed, moved, and shared.
Govern removable media and peripheral usage according to policy.
Endpoints become safer when policy, exceptions, sensitive data, and response ownership are operated together.
Focus mainly on malware status or whether the endpoint agent is installed.
Combine endpoint protection, data controls, peripheral governance, and traceability by role.
Apply broad policy first and address user disruption as exceptions appear.
Segment devices and users, validate representative policy, approve exceptions, and set review dates.
Measure installed agents or enabled policy counts.
Measure device coverage, traceability, exception quality, and whether response workflows are usable.



Agents and consoles do not create the right policy by themselves; ICS owns control design, exceptions, and response workflows around real operations.
ICS clarifies what data needs protection, which devices handle it, and which user groups own the activity.
Policy is validated against real devices, applications, and working patterns before organization-wide expansion.
Directory services, ITSM, monitoring, and support processes are included so endpoint events reach an accountable owner.
Protect endpoints and prevent data loss across distributed work environments with centrally governed policy.
Apply security controls across managed devices and distributed users.
Define and enforce how sensitive data can be accessed, moved, and shared.
Govern removable media and peripheral usage according to policy.
Create consistent rules, exceptions, ownership, and audit trails.
Use the directory to identify the closest control layer, then validate fit through a scoped assessment or workshop.

Embed application protection into the release lifecycle without slowing delivery.

Reduce alert noise, identify material threats earlier, and shorten investigation and response time.

Keep customer experience, workflow, brand, and data governance under enterprise control.
Protect endpoints and prevent data loss across distributed work environments with centrally governed policy.
