Endpoint Protection (EPP / EDR)
Protect laptops, desktops, and servers from malware, ransomware, and threats
What it is
Modern endpoint protection goes beyond traditional antivirus by monitoring device behavior in real time. Instead of relying solely on signature databases of known malware, endpoint protection platforms use behavioral analysis to detect suspicious activity like unusual file encryption patterns, unauthorized privilege escalation, or processes communicating with known malicious servers. When a threat is detected, the platform can automatically isolate the device from the network to prevent lateral movement. Endpoint detection and response capabilities provide forensic data for investigating what happened and how far an incident spread. Solutions deploy as lightweight agents on Windows, Mac, and Linux devices.
Why it matters
Every device that connects to your network or touches your data is a potential entry point. Signature-based antivirus alone cannot keep pace with modern threats that use fileless techniques, encrypted channels, and behavioral evasion. Endpoint protection closes that gap with real-time behavioral monitoring and automated response that catches what traditional scanning misses.
What to expect
Agents install silently across your fleet in hours. Policies are configured for your environment, and the platform begins monitoring immediately. Managed options include a security team that reviews alerts and takes action on your behalf around the clock.

Common questions
What is the difference between EPP and EDR?
EPP (Endpoint Protection Platform) focuses on prevention, blocking known threats before they execute. EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) adds investigation and response capabilities, providing visibility into what happened after an alert fires. Most modern platforms combine both.
Does endpoint protection slow down computers?
Modern agents are lightweight, typically using less than 1-2% of CPU. They are designed to run in the background without noticeably impacting performance, unlike legacy antivirus products.
