Endpoint & end-user security for the era of distributed work.
Your perimeter is now wherever your users are. Endpoint protection has evolved far beyond signature-based antivirus — modern endpoint security combines EPP (prevention), EDR/XDR (detection and response), patch management, identity controls and security awareness to neutralize threats before they cause damage. 91% of cyberattacks start with phishing, and a single ransomware infection costs the average mid-market organization USD $1.85M in recovery and downtime.
Inithex deploys and operates endpoint protection platforms backed by ESET (Authorized Partner), Trellix Xtend, Kaspersky and Panda — vendor-agnostic implementations tuned to your environment, centrally managed and integrated with your SOC or our 24/7 MDR service.
What’s included in our endpoint security service
- Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) — real-time malware, ransomware, fileless attack and zero-day blocking on workstations, servers and mobile devices.
- Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR / XDR) — behavior-based detection, proactive threat hunting, automated response playbooks, full attack chain reconstruction.
- Patch management — OS and application patches deployed on schedule, closing vulnerabilities before exploitation. WSUS/Intune/Jamf integration.
- Vulnerability scanning & remediation — continuous endpoint vulnerability assessment with risk-prioritized remediation queues.
- Application allowlisting & control — block unauthorized software execution, including living-off-the-land binaries.
- Identity & Access Management (IAM) — SSO, MFA, conditional access, privileged access management, just-in-time elevation.
- Email security — phishing, BEC, malicious attachment and impersonation defense (Microsoft Defender, Proofpoint, Mimecast).
- Security awareness training — persona-based programs, simulated phishing campaigns, executive briefings, ROI dashboards.
- Mobile device management (MDM) — BYOD policies, app management, remote wipe, compliance enforcement.

Why endpoint protection still matters in 2026
The endpoint is the modern battlefield. Prevention is roughly 60× cheaper than recovery. A single ransomware infection averages USD $1.85M including downtime, recovery, ransom (if paid), legal fees and reputational damage. Modern EDR/XDR detects and contains threats in minutes — versus the industry average dwell time of 207 days for undetected breaches.
Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between antivirus, EPP and EDR?
Traditional antivirus uses signature matching to detect known malware — easily bypassed by modern threats. EPP (Endpoint Protection Platform) adds behavioral analysis, exploit prevention and machine learning. EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response) goes further: it continuously records endpoint activity, detects suspicious behavior chains, and enables threat hunting and incident response. Modern deployments combine EPP + EDR (sometimes called XDR when extended across email/cloud/network).
Do we need EDR if we already have antivirus?
If your environment has any internet-connected workstations with sensitive data access, yes. Modern attacks (fileless, living-off-the-land, supply chain) routinely bypass traditional antivirus. EDR provides the visibility and response capabilities to catch what AV misses. Most cyber insurance providers now require EDR for coverage.
How much does endpoint security cost per device?
Pricing varies by vendor and tier. Modern EPP+EDR solutions typically run USD $30–$80 per endpoint per year depending on volume and features. Managed services (where we monitor and respond on your behalf) add USD $15–$40 per endpoint per year. Volume discounts apply at 500+ endpoints.
How effective is security awareness training?
Highly effective when done right. Studies show structured awareness programs reduce phishing click rates by 65–90% within 6 months. We deploy quarterly simulated phishing campaigns, persona-targeted training (executives, finance, HR have different threat profiles), and ROI dashboards. Training without measurement is theater — we measure click rates, report rates and dwell time.
Can you manage our endpoint security 24/7?
Yes. Through our Managed Detection & Response (MDR) service, we monitor your EDR/XDR platform 24/7, investigate alerts, contain confirmed incidents and coordinate full remediation with your team. SLA-backed (15-minute response on critical alerts).
