Endpoints are the front line of cybersecurity for every organization in Iraq. Laptops, desktops, mobile devices, and servers are used daily by employees to access company data, cloud services, email, and operational applications. Because endpoints sit closest to users, they are also the most vulnerable entry point for cyber threats.
With ransomware, phishing, malware, credential theft, and insider risks increasing across Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, Najaf, and Mosul, Iraqi businesses must adopt strong endpoint security practices to protect their operations.
In this article, Osous Al Taqnia explains the key best practices organizations should follow to secure their endpoints and reduce the risk of cyberattacks.
Iraq’s digital environment presents several challenges:
Attackers often begin their infiltration through a single compromised device.
Employees frequently access systems from home networks or mobile devices.
Many organizations use outdated operating systems without proper security patches.
IT teams often cannot monitor or control endpoints across departments.
Accidental clicks on malicious links or attachments remain one of the biggest risks. Securing endpoints is crucial for preventing system-wide compromises.
A logistics firm operating between Basra and Baghdad experienced frequent malware infections on employee laptops.
Our team deployed a modern Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) platform across all devices.
We implemented:
This example highlights how modern endpoint solutions outperform traditional antivirus.
EDR is essential for modern cybersecurity. Unlike traditional antivirus, EDR:
Leading EDR platforms include SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and CrowdStrike. For Iraqi businesses, EDR is no longer optional.
Outdated systems are easy targets for attackers.
Patch management closes vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them.
If a device is lost or stolen, sensitive data must remain protected.
Encryption ensures that data cannot be accessed without proper authentication.
This is essential for executives, finance departments, and field staff.
Many cyberattacks succeed because users have unnecessary admin access.
This significantly reduces the impact of malware.
Not all applications should be allowed to run. Application control helps block:
This prevents attackers from running malware on endpoints.
With remote work increasing in Iraq, securing remote access is essential.
Unsecured remote access remains a major attack vector.
Unauthorized USB drives are a significant risk in Iraqi organizations.
This prevents accidental or intentional data leaks.
Modern device management platforms provide full visibility and control.
Tools like Microsoft Intune are ideal for Iraqi companies adopting cloud services.
Since many attacks begin in email, endpoint email scanning is essential.
This prevents malware from executing on endpoints.
Even with advanced tools, human error remains common. Training should cover:
Trained users reduce endpoint risks dramatically.
