Endpoint protection refers to the security measures for various devices like PCs, smartphones, manufacturing equipment, and their connected servers, data, and systems. It is also known as endpoint security.
Endpoint protection can be categorized into three main types.
This type includes traditional antivirus software that protects endpoints using a pattern matching method. It involves a database of known virus signatures to detect and prevent infections. The advantage of this software lies in its reliability in preventing known viruses.
NGAV focuses on contemporary threats like ransomware and advanced malware. It goes beyond traditional databases by employing behavior detection, AI, and machine learning to identify and block suspected malware. Utilizing cloud technology, NGAV balances endpoint protection and operational efficiency without burdening the device’s performance.
EDR software is designed to complement the first two types. It records and monitors endpoint activities, providing immediate response to minimize damage from cyberattacks that bypass other protection layers.
While endpoint protection is crucial, it's recommended to use additional technologies in case of cyberattacks or system downtime:
Regular backups are essential, especially with the rise of cloud storage and remote work. Unlike synchronization drives, regular backups can recover lost or corrupted data and are less vulnerable to malware spreading from the local device.
Hybrid backup involves backing up data both on corporate cloud services and endpoint devices. This method is highly effective for disaster recovery, ensuring data availability and integrity.
This technique allows for remote management of devices, including locking, deleting, and restoring functions. It’s particularly useful for tracking and managing corporate devices in case of loss or theft, ensuring secure asset management.
