What is endpoint protection (EPP)?

An endpoint protection platform is an integrated suite that secures endpoints — laptops, servers, and workstations — using capabilities such as antivirus, anti-malware, firewalling, and device control to prevent attacks before they execute.

EPP is a preventive layer focused on the device. It does not inspect whether your backups and snapshots are clean and recoverable. Elastio covers that gap by hunting inside the data across your estate, ensuring that when an endpoint is compromised you can still recover from a verified clean point.
