Key Capabilities
In the perimeter-less world, endpoints remain the largest attack surface. Our platform provides protection against a broad range of surfaces and vectors.
Attack surface management
Vulnerability risk and response
Data Protection
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
Application control
Control what apps and processes should run across your departments. Audit what would have happened if you had enabled the feature, so you can make data-driven decisions without impacting productivity.
Move away from central proxies, and bring gateway and protection against web-based threats closer to the user via the endpoint's browser to support anywhere work.
Manage native security controls across multiple OSes from an unified interface, including Windows Defender, Firewall, Bitlocker and Firevault encryption, and more. Migrate your GPO workflows to our unified scripting interface to achieve control beyond native OS capabilities.
Utilize our built-in mobile device management integrated with mobile threat defense partners for comprehensive device protection. Safeguard your device autonomously from phishing and mobile-based threats, implement app and data-only management for BYOD, and enforce risk-based device restrictions with conditional access for workspace suites.
Provide secure access to internal applications through identity and device verification. Establish encrypted tunnels to authorized resources without exposing the broader network.
Powered by in-house and integrated partner feeds, we bring you the industry's largest and fastest vulnerability content. Security teams can leverage analytics to prioritize risk, and collaborate with IT to automate response using built-in patching and configuration, ultimately reducing the MTTR.
Detect and investigate threats using ML-based behavioral detection, threat intelligence, Zia AI insights, and attack timeline reconstruction. Respond quickly with guided remediation actions.
01
ML-based Behavioral Detection
Identify suspicious activities, attack persistence, fileless malware and privilege-escalation attempts through continuous endpoint monitoring and behavioral analysis.
02
Threat Hunting
Proactively hunt across endpoints to uncover indicators of compromise, correlate threats with the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and identify potential risks before they escalate.
03
Threat Investigation
Investigate incidents using endpoint telemetry, attack timelines and contextual threat intelligence to reconstruct attack sequences and understand the full scope.
04
AI-Powered Alert Prioritization
Leverage Zia AI insights to analyze telemetry, prioritize high-risk alerts, identify suspicious activity, and accelerate investigations through intelligent triage.
05
Remediation & Response
Contain threats through automated termination and guided response actions, helping teams reduce risk and respond to incidents from a single console.
GenAI, and Ransomware as a Service are creating a new wave of financially motivated attackers. Our next-gen antivirus utilizes ML and patented behavior analytics to defend against any threat, including unknown ransomware. In the event of double extortion, you can prevent your data from being exfiltrated via integrated data loss prevention and file restore capabilities.
We partner with secure access and identity solutions to enable zero trust based on the device posture—by sharing the broadest set of posture signals and unified risk score. Besides, our agents help devices self-heal based on automatic workflows to improve device posture.
You face huge regulatory pressures. Digital transformation continues to flood your estate with new endpoints that can fall out of compliance. Our platform brings you the visibility and control you need across across your endpoint estate. Combine that with our comprehensive guidelines to meet industry and general regulatory frameworks.
Leverage the same agent and platform capabilities to patch, harden and remotely troubleshooting endpoints. This drives better collaboration between IT and SecOps to reduce the attack surface.
Together, let's build a brave new world, where our people can work safely from anywhere, on any device, with a rich experience across all their workplace services.
Frequently asked questions on enterprise endpoint security
01. What is enterprise endpoint security?
+-
Enterprise endpoint security is the practice of protecting all devices connected to an organization's network, including desktops, laptops, servers, mobile devices, and IoT endpoints, from modern threats. It operates at fleet scale with centralized policy enforcement, real-time visibility, and automated detection and response. Endpoint Central delivers this by combining threat prevention, EDR, vulnerability management, DLP, application control, and device control into a single platform and agent.
02. What features should an enterprise endpoint security solution include?
+-
A comprehensive enterprise endpoint security solution should include AI-driven threat detection, EDR, vulnerability and patch management, device control, data loss prevention, and encryption enforcement. It must support major operating systems like Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile platforms from one console. Endpoint Central includes all of these capabilities natively, eliminating the need for multiple point products and the overhead of managing a fragmented security stack.
03. What is the difference between EPP, EDR, and XDR for enterprises?
+-
An Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) prevents known and unknown threats from executing. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) monitors endpoint telemetry to detect threats that bypass prevention and provides remediation tools. Extended Detection and Response (XDR) correlates data across endpoints, networks, and cloud systems for broader visibility. Endpoint Central delivers integrated EPP and EDR natively, using deep-learning AI and patented behavioral analytics to prevent, detect, and respond to threats from a single agent.
04. How does enterprise endpoint security support regulatory compliance?
+-
Enterprise endpoint security supports compliance with PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, SOX, and NIST by enforcing encryption, restricting unauthorized data transfers, scanning for misconfigurations, and maintaining audit-ready logs. Endpoint Central addresses these requirements through automated vulnerability scanning, security configuration management aligned with 75+ CIS benchmarks, built-in DLP, native encryption enforcement, and compliance reporting that maps directly to your audits.
05. How does AI improve enterprise endpoint security?
+-
AI enables detection of threats that signature-based tools miss, including zero-day exploits and fileless malware. Deep-learning models identify malicious patterns before execution, while behavioral analytics detect anomalies in process behavior and network connections in real time. Endpoint Central applies deep-learning AI at the endpoint edge, analyzing up to 10 million events per day to stop threats before execution. It also uses patented behavioral analytics to catch unknown threats that escape static analysis.
06. How should enterprises secure endpoints in remote and hybrid environments?
+-
Enterprises need solutions that protect devices both on and off the network through a lightweight agent that operates independently of VPN connectivity. These solutions must enforce policies regardless of location and support Zero Trust by evaluating device posture before granting access. Endpoint Central protects remote endpoints through a single agent, shares unified risk scores with identity solutions, and supports automatic self-healing workflows that remediate compliance drift without manual IT intervention.
07. How can enterprises defend against ransomware at the endpoint?
+-
Enterprise ransomware defense requires AI-driven pre-execution prevention, real-time behavioral detection of encryption activity, automated endpoint isolation, and data restore capabilities to reverse damage. Endpoint Central addresses all of these layers with a next-gen antivirus engine achieving 99.99% ransomware detection accuracy and patented ransomware behavioral analytics. It also features integrated DLP and built-in file backup and restore tools that reverse encryption damage without relying on external solutions.
