Cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated, posing a threat to businesses of all sizes. The aim is to steal both company and customer data, which, if successful, can damage a business’s reputation and financial well-being.
Fortunately, cloud-delivered endpoint security solutions simplify the process of safeguarding devices, whether they are located on the premises or remotely. Below, you’ll learn about endpoints and the three primary types of endpoint security: EPP, EDR, and XDR.
What Is an Endpoint?
An endpoint is any physical device connected to a network. Examples include desktop computers, laptops, tablets, mobile devices, and wireless printers.
These devices are beneficial for employees as they allow them to communicate and access information quickly.
What Is Endpoint Security?
Companies need to keep in mind that unprotected endpoints serve as entry points for cyber threats. That’s where endpoint security, the cybersecurity approach to defending endpoints, comes in.
With the rise in hybrid and remote work, a strong endpoint security strategy is now more important than ever.
EPP vs. EDR
An endpoint protection platform (EPP) focuses solely on prevention. It uses anti-virus, data encryption, and intrusion prevention technologies to detect and stop threats at the device level.
Since no EPP can successfully block all threats, it should be combined with an endpoint detection and response (EDR) solution. An EDR detects, contains, and removes threats that have evaded front-line defenses.
EDR vs. XDR
There’s an additional security solution if you want more protection for your company. An extended detection and response (XDR) solution does not replace the EPP and EDR but builds upon their capabilities. It expands the reach of detection and analyses and protects data across all endpoints, networks, servers, and more.
