Endpoint security
Secure valuable assets while reducing complexity
30% of data breaches are due to malware being installed on endpoints. Would you risk your data by leaving such a large area of your environment unprotected?
Endpoint attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Without a layered security approach, threat actors are becoming even more successful at phishing users out of their credentials. Prevent this from happening in your organisation with robust endpoint security to protect your users, systems, and data against cyber threats.
What is endpoint security?
Endpoint security refers to the practice of securing endpoints, such as end-user devices and networks. Endpoints act as a bridge between areas of an enterprise network, and malicious actors see these endpoints as weak entrance points, exploiting them to breach your environment.
Every device that employees use to connect to business networks is a potential weakness that threat actors can take advantage of to gain access to vital data. Endpoints of this nature can be challenging to secure, so it’s essential to have an endpoint security solution in place to ensure each and every endpoint is protected at all times.
What are the benefits of endpoint security?
Secure remote working
With the increase in remote working, the number of devices being used within organisations has also increased. By implementing an endpoint security solution, be assured all devices are secure.
Swiftly detect and respond to malware threats
Endpoint security solutions monitor and react to malware threats 24/ 7, ensuring any attempted attack is deflected with little disruption.
Simplify security
Reduce administrative overhead by implementing a single, simple solution for all of your endpoint security needs.
Types of endpoint security
Traditional Antivirus solutions are used to prevent, detect, and remove known threats from endpoints. This form of endpoint protection relies on a database of previously identified threats, using this database as a guideline for whether a file is a threat or not. Due to this, AV solutions are unable to detect first instances of attacks.
AV solutions are good for organisations who have a smaller number of endpoints or who are starting their endpoint security journey.
NGAV is a next-generation endpoint protection solution that uses AI and machine learning to deliver several protections that traditional endpoint protection can’t provide.
NGAV can detect unauthorised behaviours, block suspicious activities instantaneously, analyse suspicious app data in isolated locations, and roll data back to previous states in the event of an attack. It is an all-in-one endpoint security solution that fits the needs of many organisations.
EDR is a highly comprehensive endpoint security solution, consolidating data across all data to provide a full picture of potential threats. EDR runs through sensors installed on all endpoints and applies behavioural analytics to view billions of events in real-time to automatically detect traces of suspicious behaviour. All this behaviour is then pieced together to build a full picture of all endpoint activity across your estate, which is then used to detect future anomalies.
EDR provides full visibility of the success or failure of its systems, giving you time to react to threats if needed.
The most comprehensive endpoint security solution, MDR, fulfils the needs of organisations that lack time and resources to be able to detect, verify, and respond to threats 24/ 7.
It includes:
- 24/ 7 threat monitoring
- Advanced analytics
- Threat intelligence
- Specialists in investigation and response
Endpoint management
Endpoint management solutions provide organisations with the capability to enforce security policies, deploy software updates, and ensure compliance across all endpoints from a unified platform. This centralised approach enhances operational efficiency, reduces the risk of security breaches, and facilitates prompt responses to emerging threats.
Tanium, the industry’s first and only provider of converged endpoint management (XEM), leads the shift in endpoint management — consolidating tools, connecting workflows, and bringing together people to create a convergence.

Endpoint security FAQs
The primary purpose of endpoint security is to protect individual devices, such as computers, laptops, and smartphones, from a wide range of cyber threats. This includes preventing malware infections, securing sensitive data, and implementing measures to defend against unauthorised access and data breaches.
While traditional antivirus software primarily focuses on detecting and removing known malware, endpoint security solutions offer a more comprehensive approach. They typically include features like behavioural analysis, firewall protection, device control, data loss prevention, and centralised management. Endpoint security aims to provide a layered defence strategy against a broader spectrum of cyber threats beyond just traditional viruses.
