Endpoint Security and Antivirus

Endpoint policies, updates, and response

Endpoint security support can cover antivirus policies, operating system and application updates, account settings, peripheral access, and follow-up for unusual device activity.

The supported devices and controls depend on the endpoint tools and policies already used by the organization.

Endpoint security

Protection and management for employee computers, laptops, and mobile work devices.

Antivirus

Software and policies that help detect and reduce the impact of malware and suspicious programs on devices.

Patch management

Reviewing and applying operating system, browser, office software, and client updates to address known issues.

Peripheral controls

Rules for devices such as USB drives and removable storage that can affect data access and malware exposure.

Unmanaged endpoints create risk

Devices may be at different patch levels, use different applications, or follow different access rules. That can make it harder to understand which endpoints need attention.

A documented baseline and a consistent review process help IT teams track issues and coordinate follow-up without promising that every threat can be prevented.

Malware investigation and device isolation

Investigate alerts or suspicious activity and coordinate device isolation, cleanup, and recovery.

Endpoint inspections and employee guidance

Check protection coverage, update status, software, and device practices and provide practical recommendations.

More consistent protection settings

Apply a documented antivirus and security baseline across workplace devices.

Trackable system updates

Review patch status and identify updates that need scheduling.

A defined response for unusual activity
