What is endpoint protection?
Endpoint protection is the set of security controls on user devices, such as disk encryption, anti-malware, host firewalls, screen lock, and automatic updates. Endpoint detection and response (EDR) adds monitoring for suspicious behavior and tools to investigate it. Controls are usually enforced through MDM.
What the buyer is really asking
List what is enforced on every managed laptop: disk encryption, anti-malware or EDR, firewall, screen lock, OS updates, and remote wipe. Enforced through MDM is the key phrase. A policy people are asked to follow is weaker.
Other ways buyers ask it
Every one of these wants the same answer:
- “What protections are enforced on managed endpoints?”
- “Do you encrypt data stored on laptops?”
- “Do you use anti-malware or EDR on endpoints?”
- “Can you remotely wipe a lost device?”
Evidence to have ready
- MDM compliance policies
- An EDR or anti-malware coverage report
