Modern cloud-based protection platforms integrate EDR tools, antivirus software, and data encryption technologies, working together to safeguard your network.
Generally, endpoint solutions operate as follows: security software runs on an endpoint to detect a cyber attack and protect it from intrusion.
Endpoint security software features a centralized console where you can connect to the network and manage everything, such as monitoring movements or investigating suspicious activities.
Since modern EPP technology is based on a server-client relationship, its installation, updates, and maintenance are simplified by connecting a management software on the administrator’s endpoint and another on the external endpoints.
Traditionally, when it came to IT and endpoint security, point solutions were sought for specific needs. This created a problem, as these solutions did not communicate or work together easily, leaving security gaps that are not easy to identify and address. With the evolution of threats, traditional and isolated EPPs may struggle to keep up and combat at the necessary speed.
Therefore, an integrated solution is needed to adapt to more advanced attackers. A modern endpoint security solution, in addition to the cost reduction mentioned above, addresses the issue of lack of integration. This provides end-to-end visibility for the administrator, making it easier to identify and address these gaps.
Another characteristic of traditional protection solutions was virus detection based on malware signatures. However, detection only occurred if your company wasn’t the first to be infected or if the antivirus software was up-to-date.
By leveraging cloud-based information, EPP solutions receive constant and automatic updates. Additionally, based on behavioral analysis, previously unidentified threats can be discovered.
Today, modern EPPs function as a team effort, with antivirus being one of the tools to combat increasingly difficult and complex malware to detect.
Endpoint security solutions often overlap in functionality and cause scope redundancy.
Thus, a modern enterprise endpoint security solution that integrates various services can help increase productivity and reduce software costs.
Visibility and control over all the organization’s endpoints help reduce administrative and management overhead.
With automated processes, there are improvements in management, auditing, provisioning, logging, and updating or deactivating endpoints.
