What is Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP)?
An endpoint protection platform (EPP) is an integrated suite of endpoint security solutions for malware protection. An effective EPP detects and blocks malicious activity to safeguard the device from vital security threats. Along with its investigation and remediation capability, EPP is effective protection that stops an array of cyberattacks at the endpoint.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
Manufactured by one of the industry’s biggest names, Microsoft Windows Defender for Endpoint is an easy-to-use online security protection software to defend enterprises against advanced cyber threats. It provides a lightweight, zero-touch endpoint security solution that is easy to deploy and manage. It protects against malware and ransomware attacks and can help reduce the risk of data breaches.
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint comes with 3 major features
- Endpoint behavioural sensors: collect and process behavioural signals from the operating system and send this data back to the defender.
- Cloud security analytics: translates behavioural signals into insights, detections, and recommended responses to potential threats.
- Threat intelligence: identify attacker tools, techniques, and procedures, and generate alerts when they are found in collected data.
Amidas offers a certified integration with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to provide two-factor authentication via Duo Security’s cloud-based MFA platform (meaning no on-premises software or hardware is needed).
Microsoft Defender for Office 365
Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is a cloud-based solution that provides a single pane of glass for protection across Office 365. It protects from phishing, malware, spam, and email-based attacks.
Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is designed to help you protect your organisation from the latest threats more easily than ever before by using machine learning and behaviour analytics to uncover suspicious activity on mailboxes and discover potential breaches.
Microsoft Defender for Office 365 protects against malware and advanced threats in email messages and files attached to emails. This service also protects users from malicious links in messages and attachments by using digital signatures to verify content integrity when accessing files received through Outlook Web Access (OWA) or SharePoint Online.
