Endpoint protection safeguards your devices, whether malware is malicously installed by hackers or unintentionally by unsuspecting users. The process of an endpoint protection solution starts by identifying potential risks on endpoints, continuously monitoring them, and evaluating the extent of the threat. When a threat is detected, the system can autonomously isolate and eradicate it, employing automated procedures tailored to your business's system. Moreover, endpoint protection may include measures to minimise your network's vulnerability by mitigating or bypassing endpoints that heighten the overall risk level. In addition to threat detection and response, modern endpoint protection solutions often feature integrated antivirus, anti-ransomware, firewall, and device control functionalities. They may also utilise advanced technologies such as machine learning and behavioural analysis to predict and prevent unknown threats before they can cause harm. Centralised management consoles enable IT administrators to enforce security policies, deploy updates, and monitor endpoitns in real time, ensuring consistent protection across all devices, whether they are on-site or remote. Regular reporting and compliance features also help organizations meet regulatory requirements and maintain a strong security posture.

Endpoint Encryption uses encryption algorithms to protect files stored on endpoint devices. As part of an endpoint security strategy, it helps protect data from physical threats.
A common method is full-disk encryption, which encrypts all contents on a disk or device- such as a Windows or Mac laptop, mobile device, or USB drive- so that data remains encrypted while at rest.
Endpoint security disk encryption profiles make it easier to manage settings related to a device's built-in encryption methods, such as FileVault or BitLocker. This approach allows security administrators to focus on relevant settings, rather than dealing with unrelated configuration options. Although similar device settings can be configured using Endpoint Protection profiles, those profiles often include additional setting categories not specific to disk encryption, which can make configuration more complex.
To access endpoint securrity policies for disk encryption, go to the "Manage" section within the Endpoint Security node in the Microsoft Intune admin centre.
Examples of endpoint encryption options include:
Device Management refers to the systematic administration of devices within an organization to ensure optimal usage and robust security.
Key benefits of implementing Device Management including:
Mobile Device Management (MDM ) is crucial for safeguarding mobile devices, ensuring compliance, and sustaining operational efficiency in organizations, irrespective of whether the devices are company-issued or personally owned.
