Endpoint security

Endpoint security for the AI era

  • EPP with AI-driven threat prevention and attack surface reduction controls
    Protect endpoints from malware, ransomware, and exploits with next-gen EPP that combines real-time protection, behavioral analysis, and cloud sandboxing. Attack-surface reduction finds vulnerable software and misconfigurations, applies virtual patching, and reduces exposure.
  • Behavior-based EDR
    Go beyond prevention to detect and stop advanced threats, including zero-day, fileless, and Living-off-the-Land attacks, using real-time, behavior-based detection. Automate containment, rapid rollback, and integrated forensics with minimal endpoint impact
  • Consolidated endpoint security with AI-assisted operations
    Simplify deployment, reduce complexity, and improve operational efficiency with consolidated endpoint agents, including EPP, EDR, ZTNA, VPN, and DLP, plus AI-assisted operations.
