There are all kinds of enterprise-level EPPs that include proactive strategies and methods for securing your endpoints. The following is a sampling of some of the solutions out there, but please feel free to add other solutions in response to this post.
SentinelOne Endpoint Protection uses AI to find threats by looking at static attributes taken from executables. This approach does away with counting on signatures and is part of the solution's prevention abilities. And one of its proactive features is its Deep Visibility functionality for threat-hunting and investigation.
Symantec (Broadcom) Endpoint Protection's IPS works to prevent exploitation of network vulnerabilities. Its approach is to scrutinize for exploit signatures, providing proactive detection and prevention. Symantec notes that the vast majority of its IPS detections happen before the infection stage.
CrowdStrike Falcon is another venerable competitor with cloud-based endpoint protection. It protects against known and unknown malware/ransomware as well as fileless attacks. The next-gen AV uses machine learning and AI to catch indicators of attack. For proactive activities you have to use CrowdStrike Services which include technical assessments and training.
Palo Alto Networks steps in with its Cortex XDR endpoint protection platform, using, in part, AI and behavior analysis based on machine learning to proactively find and halt potential threats including exploits, malware, and fileless attacks.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business furnishes anti-malware capabilities with what it calls Automatic Exploit Prevention, and its proactive protection methods include security intelligence from Kaspersky Security Network. Its System Watcher feature works to block malicious actions and behavior patterns that indicate the presence of malware. Its proactive side includes protection against threats that may not exist in signature databases.
A lesser-known player is BlackBerry's CylancePROTECT, which is another AI-powered endpoint protection platform. Among its proactive features is its ability to
identify fileless attacks and it works to block malware and suspect payloads before they can execute.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike and others in Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP). Updated: February 2025.
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.
