Endpoint Protection Platforms Definition

Endpoint protection platforms combine a number of endpoint security and management capabilities to deliver an all-in-one solution for securing endpoint devices. These tools facilitate endpoint management through remote control, monitoring, and inventory management. Endpoint protection platforms also provide some level of endpoint detection and remediation to identify and remove causes of web-based threats. Lastly, they offer antivirus capabilities to prevent malicious software from infecting endpoint devices. Companies often choose these tools because of their all-encompassing nature and to centralize control and maintain consistency of security operations related to endpoint devices.

While these tools possess the capabilities of other endpoint security solutions, they also accomplish much more. By combining at least three key components of endpoint security, these tools are excellent choices for companies hoping to consolidate security solutions.

To qualify for inclusion in the Endpoint Protection Platforms category, a product must:

• Facilitate control over disparate endpoints
• Provide endpoint malware and antivirus protection
• Facilitate the detection and remediation of web-based threats
