Understanding Endpoint Protection
Endpoint Protection refers to the security measures applied to endpoint devices such as computers, smartphones, and tablets that connect to an organization’s network. Endpoint Protection solutions, often called Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP), guard against threats by providing features like antivirus, firewall, and malware detection to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches. This is essential to ensure that third-party vendors and their devices meet security standards before connecting to an organization’s network, especially in environments with extensive third-party collaboration.
Effective Endpoint Protection reduces the risk of malicious activity spreading from endpoints to the broader network. Meditology Services helps companies verify that third-party devices have robust endpoint protection safeguards against vulnerabilities that could arise from unmanaged or compromised devices within the vendor ecosystem.
