Endpoint Security: EDR, EPP and holistic device protection
Endpoint security with EDR and EPP protects your laptops, servers and mobile devices against malware, ransomware and advanced attacks.
Summary: Security risks posed by individuals with legitimate system access - employees, contractors, or partners. Unlike social engineering, which relies on external deception, the threat posed by insider threats stems from the access itself: whether malicious (sabotage, data theft) or negligent (phishing victims, misconfiguration).
