Endpoint security for the modern workplace.

Modern endpoint security extends from device firmware to the cloud and across all stages of the device lifecycle.

Endpoint security has progressed from simple antivirus software to complete protection against complex malware and developing zero-day threats. For various reasons, an endpoint protection platform is an essential component of organizational cybersecurity. To begin with, in today's corporate environment, data is a company's most important asset - and losing that data, or access to that data, might put the entire organization at risk of collapse.

Businesses have also had to deal with not just an increase in the number of endpoints, but also an increase in the variety of endpoints. On their own, these issues make company endpoint security more difficult, but they are exacerbated by remote work and BYOD rules, which render perimeter protection insufficient and create vulnerabilities. The threat landscape is also becoming more complex: Hackers are always devising new methods to obtain access, steal information, or compromise systems.

Once configured, the client software may distribute updates to the endpoints as needed, authenticate log-in attempts from each device, and administer corporate rules from a single location. EPPs (Endpoint Protection Platforms) secure endpoints through application management which prevents the use of hazardous or unapproved apps and encryption (which helps avoid data loss).
