Acronym for Endpoint Protection Platform—comprehensive security suite for device protection.
EPP stands for Endpoint Protection Platform. See 'Endpoint Protection Platform' for the full definition. The distinction between EPP and EDR is blurring as vendors combine both capabilities, but EPP focuses on prevention while EDR focuses on detection and response.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
EPP is the minimum standard for endpoint security. When compliance questionnaires ask about endpoint protection, they're asking about EPP capabilities. Ensure your solution provides modern EPP features, not just traditional antivirus.
