Summary
Endpoint protection platforms use multiple techniques to secure end-user devices, but not all techniques offer the same level of protection. This research helps security and risk management technical professionals evaluate EPP techniques to balance efficacy with user impact and operational overhead.

Overview
Key Findings
Modern workstation(Windows and macOS) and mobile (iOS and GoogleAndroid)OSs implement multiple, increasingly effective, endpoint protection techniques that have becomecentrally manageable through unified endpoint management (UEM) tools. These tools connect and manage native security controls via operating system APIs.
Misconfiguration of endpoint security tools is a common cause for breaches. Examples include using weak defaults, policies not being applied to all devices and foundational modules not being enabled.
Some buyers focus so much on detection and response that they lose focus on the prevention capabilities of endpoint protection platforms (EPPs). Organizations sometimes fall into the trap of replacing their existing EPP
