Terms like antivirus, EDR, and EPP might seem like ones you would hear in a hospital emergency room, but there’s no mistaking the significance these tools have for endpoint security.
On one end, antivirus software is suitable if you have a limited number of devices that need protection and a small budget to protect them. On the other end, endpoint detection and response (EDR) may be your best option for securing numerous devices with a larger budget. EDR is also preferable if you need to monitor your endpoint security from a higher vantage point. Endpoint protection platforms (EPPs) are somewhat in the middle in terms of capabilities and scale and are often combined with EDR to create the perfect endpoint security cocktail.
