Endpoint Security

The endpoint is the outermost layer of corporate defense, which also makes it the most frequently tested. A large share of ransomware cases begins with an attachment a user opened, a link they clicked or a file they downloaded. Protection at the endpoint is not an item where "having it installed" is enough.

Classic antivirus recognizes known malware by its signature. Most of today's attacks leave no known file behind: they abuse legitimate tools, run in memory, or move with the user's own privileges. EDR and XDR exist precisely for this — they look at behavior rather than files, and see unusual activity as a chain of events.

The endpoint has two critical neighbors: the browser and email. In corporate use, an attack's first contact with the organization almost always comes through one of them. Session and download control on the browser side, and authentication plus content analysis on the email side, form a coherent whole when designed together with endpoint protection.
