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 utilises encryption algorithms to protect files stored on endpoint devices. This crucial element of an endpoint security strategy acts as a barrier to safeguard sensitive data from physical threats.
A widely used method is full-disk encryption, which involves encrypting an entire disk or device, whether it's the hard drive in a Windows or Mac laptop, a mobile device, or a portable USB drive. In all these cases, the contents of the drive are fully encrypted, ensuring data security while at rest.
Endpoint security disk encryption profiles, streamline the management of settings relevant to a device's built-in encryption method, such as FileVault or BitLocker. This targeted approach simplifies the task for security administrators, eliminating the need to navigate through unrelated settings. While it's possible to configure the same device settings via Endpoint Protection profiles for device configuration, these profiles include extraneous categories of settings unrelated to disk encryption, potentially complicating the configuration process.
To access endpoint security policies for disk encryption, navigate to the "Manage" section within the Endpoint Security node of the Microsoft Intune admin centre.
Notable endpoint encryption options include:
