Software with system-level permissions, such as your operating system or internet browser, has easy access to your data and device features. If a vulnerability is discovered, it can be exploited to gain control over these access rights and permissions, potentially leading to significant security risks. This is why hackers actively target even the smallest vulnerabilities in such software.

At dnergy, securing these devices is essential to support their mission of reducing CO2 emissions in compliance with European and national regulations.

As we transitioned from traditional network environments to a modern distributed IT landscape marked by remote work, cloud computing, and the increased use of personal devices for work, traditional security models have become ineffective. This shift necessitates a more robust and adaptable security approach, leading to the adoption of the Zero Trust framework. This new approach is moving away from old perimeter-based security models to one where identity and authentication becomes the central part. This approach necessitates continuous checks on the security status of assets and user privileges to protect an organization’s data and resources.
