5 reasons endpoint security agents are not enough

The report argues that endpoint security agents in cloud environments provide incomplete coverage, increase the attack surface due to privileged and often outdated software, are susceptible to supply-chain compromise and attacker bypass, and are slow and resource-intensive to deploy and maintain; citing examples like Log4Shell detection gaps, numerous CVEs affecting EDR/antivirus products, and incidents such as SolarWinds and Kaseya, it promotes agentless, cloud-native security as a complementary approach to improve visibility and reduce risk.
