End Point Protection (EPP) includes protection provided by the old anti-virus products, but goes a lot further. EPP is one component of a “layered defence“.
What technologies does A quality EPP include?
- Cloud or server based management and monitoring
- Signature based anti-virus/anti-malware scanning
- Predictive detection of malware, over and above signature based scanning
- Assessment of websites for man in the middle and phishing attacks
- Firewall with more sophisticated features than Windows firewall to block external and internal attacks on computers
- Block access to removable devices
- Blacklisting of unwanted applications
- Process inspector monitoring all processes running and terminate the process if determined to be malicious
All EPP/AV products are not equal. We sell best of breed EPP products that actually protect and don’t just lead you to believe they do. We regularly perform our own in-house testing to ensure that as products evolve, our recommendations remain current.
