What Is an Endpoint Security Service?
PCs, servers, tablets, mobile phones, and IoT devices are all examples of endpoints. An endpoint security service protects all endpoints that access sensitive business information. Endpoint protection is achieved by installing security tools, logging endpoint activities, and alerting your IT security team to potential threats.
While some of the endpoints on your enterprise network may be corporate devices, approximately two-thirds of employees use personal devices for work. Every endpoint is a potential target for hackers, and each one is also vulnerable to unintentional data sharing and user errors.
Endpoint security services can be broadly categorised into :
Antivirus software and network firewalls form the most basic level of endpoint security. Antivirus software is designed to detect, prevent, and remove software viruses and malware, while firewalls protect your network by blocking malicious or unnecessary network traffic.
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) / Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (MEDR)
EDR solutions enhance traditional endpoint security by enabling security analysts to record key activities on endpoints, improving their ability to investigate threats both reactively and proactively.
MEDR enhances the detection capabilities of your next-generation endpoint solution by continuously monitoring alerts and reducing response time. This service includes platform management to optimize your security technologies through continuous issue discovery and resolution.
MDR is an outsourced service that integrates, deploys, optimizes, and manages solutions within your environment, including EDR, identity threat detection and response (ITDR), threat monitoring, and log management. It helps reduce the strain on your SecOps team and accelerates security maturity.

What Is an Endpoint Security Service?
The growing number of network entry points is expanding the attack surface for enterprises. Along with this, more sophisticated threats, evolving compliance regulations, cloud vulnerabilities, bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies, and the shift to hybrid work are all putting additional strain on your network security infrastructure.
Network security involves the technologies, policies, and practices that work together to detect and prevent unauthorized or malicious attempts to breach and compromise your network infrastructure.
Selecting the right network security services starts with a clear understanding of your business requirements, which must be aligned with a tailored network security strategy.
