OVERVIEW:

Endpoint protection products (EPP), also known as conventional/traditional antivirus, have existed since the 1980s and are found in most enterprise security architectures. Advanced endpoint protection (AEP) products are the next evolution of this technology, combining EPPs with endpoint detection and response (EDR) technology in order to provide detection, blocking, and forensic insight. The AEP market is populated by a number of start-ups, many of which market their products as supplemental to EPPs.
