Endpoint Security
Endpoint security is the practice of protecting end-user devices such as desktops, laptops, and mobile devices from being exploited by malicious players and campaigns. Endpoint security systems protect these endpoints on the network or in the cloud from cybersecurity threats. Endpoint security has evolved from a standard antivirus program to providing complete protection against complex computer malware and day-to-day threats.
What is an Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP)?
Endpoint Protection Platform works very similarly to antivirus. It is based on the signature scanner method where many features and overlays are added. EPP embedded new technologies that make it better able to protect the machine from ransomware attacks for example. EPP embedded, in addition to signature scanning and heuristic scanning for Antivirus:
· Behavioural analysis
· Memory monitoring
· Verification of indicator of compromise
On-Premises Endpoint security
The purpose of this endpoint security solution is to protect the organization’s server, devices, and internal network. All costs fall to the user — this includes space, electricity, cooling, and personnel. On-premises software usually requires a large initial investment and may involve long installations.
Cloud-based Endpoint Security
This option includes protecting all network endpoints from a solution hosted and stored on cloud server servers. This solution offers an inexpensive, fast-paced option that can work again in minutes. Cloud-based solutions offer many benefits, ranging from access to vendor databases and monitoring that provides a quick response to threats.
What is Point Recovery and Response? (EDR)
Endpoint Detection & Response is a new model of endpoint protection software. EDR is responsible for new technologies to provide its users with even greater security. In fact, unlike AV and EPP, Endpoint Detection & Response will be able to detect and stop threats even before system startup damage due to greater data collection compared to other security solutions.
What is Extended Discovery and Response (XDR)?
As the name suggests, XDR offers more protection than EDR. XDR captures detection and response across all network secure locations. XDR uses other similar strategies such as EDR to expand threat detection and response to include both endpoint and network activity. In other words, XDR solutions collect data to help identify and differentiate threats across networks, cloud infrastructure, SaaS components, endpoints, and other network components.
What is Responsive Discovery (MDR)?
MDR is a form of cybersecurity service, usually provided by a managed security service provider. These services utilize a wide range of online security tools and can be used to provide a complete network or type of installation designed to comply with existing online security efforts. The Cybersecurity tools used in your MDR solutions may include:
• EDR
• SIEM
• Network traffic analysis
• User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA)
• Asset Discovery
• Vulnerability Management
• Intrusion Detection
• Cloud vulnerability
