Benefits of EPP
- Behavioral analysis: It involves determining the baseline of endpoint behavior and identifying behavioral anomalies when there is no known threat signature.
- Static analysis: EPP can analyze binaries and search for malicious properties before execution using machine learning algorithms.
- Signature matching: EPP can identify threats based on known malware signatures.
- Allow listing and delisting: EPP blocks access or only permits access to specific IP addresses, URLs, and applications
EDR vs EPP: What’s the Difference?
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) can identify and respond to threats and Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) protect against known and unknown malware. Many modern endpoint security platforms connect these two approaches but can also select one of these security instead of both.
