The criteria were that the solution would do what we expected with minimum performance issues, that it would not affect the operating system, and would come from a solid company that has customers who trust the product. They would have sales within the US too. I think the FBI or police in the US are using this product. Also, it was PoC-ed by the major security institutions within Israel, the Mossad, and the Shabak. They're in the process of implementing it here, in Israel, also. Those things would give us quite a level of confidence that the product and the vendor are safe, and good to work with. I think the advice that I would give is, first of all, to try the product to see that you have confidence that it does create any performance issues on the client. Of course, check that this product is protecting the assets, the client. Different companies have the different systems. You need to check that the performance is not affected because of this product. I would rate it an eight out of 10 because, first of all, it's doing the job. It's protecting the client from ransomware. Period. I don't give it a higher rating because it's missing some features for the server. I think it's very important to also protect your assets on the server side and not just on the client side.
Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) safeguards endpoints by preventing malware, detecting malicious activities, and providing a centralized management system.
Modern EPPs are designed to address the growing threat landscape with features like real-time monitoring, machine learning-based threat detection, and integration with other security tools. They offer comprehensive protection that includes antivirus, anti-malware, and endpoint detection and response capabilities.
