ManageEngine, the enterprise IT management division of Zoho Corporation, has added next-gen antivirus (NGAV) capability to its Endpoint Central solution -positioning it as an endpoint protection platform (EPP).
Endpoint Central’s NGAV offers edge-AI-based, real-time protection and offline capabilities by carrying out monitoring, analyses, and remediation workflows locally on the device.
“Endpoints have been one of the most utilised threat vectors by cybercriminals for quite some time now,” said Mathivanan Venkatachalam, Vice President, ManageEngine.
Endpoint Central uses a single, lightweight agent for its wide range of high-stakes capabilities like device life cycle management, remote troubleshooting, user experience management and endpoint security.
Apart from reducing organisations’ IT footprints, this unified approach offers:
- A wide scope for remediation policies
- Seamless incident investigation
- Feedback loops for bolstering the security posture:
ManageEngine has been in the IT management market for over 20 years and has built a strong foundation of IT management and security capabilities from the ground up.
The NGAV addition to Endpoint Central is pitched as a move to strengthen endpoint security within the company’s comprehensive portfolio of cybersecurity solutions.
“We aim to offer an AI-powered, unified, end-to-end platform for the digital enterprise in which cyber resilience is of paramount importance,” said Venkatachalam.
“The platform will enable customers to devise and implement a comprehensive security strategy by building workflows across multiple ManageEngine security offerings, automating threat detection, threat responses and incident investigation.”
