Endpoint Security

Simply knowing about vulnerabilities does not protect against attacks. Together with patch management and managed software, the latest security updates are installed on the affected target systems, closing gaps even faster.

Defense Control allows you to configure, activate, and pause the encryption integrated in Windows 11, as well as monitor and control Defender Antivirus. Using Windows' own solution guarantees maximum compatibility with all common applications. There is no need for additional security patches and updates for third-party products. These are installed with the regular Windows updates. Disk and File Protection powered by Drivelock also offers user- or group-based encryption at the file level. 

With Defense Control, you can manage BitLocker and Defender Antivirus centrally via a uniform interface throughout your entire company. This allows you to see at a glance which systems are currently unprotected and which are encrypted. Recovery keys and unlock passwords can be managed centrally via key management. The baramundi Management Suite has its own rights management for sensitive data, so that only authorized administrators have access to the keys. It also allows you to centrally manage local administrator passwords and accounts. Passwords can be quickly and individually regenerated for each endpoint after use to counteract potential spying.

Detected virus threats are transmitted to the baramundi Management Suite, where they can be remedied centrally. In particularly stubborn cases, this can even be done by starting the offline scan in a specially secured Windows mode.
 

An endpoint is any physical device connected to the company network — from laptops and mobile devices to IoT components and POS systems. They are potential gateways for attacks.

Antivirus software is usually limited to detecting and removing malware. Endpoint protection, on the other hand, is much more comprehensive: it also includes behavioral analysis, access controls, encryption, device control, and centralized management.

It protects devices, data, and access — everything an endpoint can execute, store, or communicate. This includes protection against ransomware, unsecured USB devices, suspicious apps, and network attacks.

Because without central control, security gaps arise. This is the only way to roll out policies consistently, detect attacks quickly, and keep IT risks under control — especially in hybrid or mobile environments.

Regular updates, strong access controls, zero trust principles, USB device management, use of EDR/XDR, user training — and above all: central management and automation.

1. Prevention: e.g., virus protection, device control
2. Detection: e.g., of behavior, anomalies
3. Response: e.g., automatic quarantine, alerting, forensics
