Endpoint Security Software Questions & Answers

An endpoint security solution generates comprehensive compliance reports, including:

HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, SOX, AND CMMC by monitoring, auditing, and documenting security posture.

Policy updates are distributed to endpoints primarily through a centralized management console using a push or pull mechanism via an installed agent.

Primary steps of policy update distribution:

• Creation and Modification
• Assignments (policy assigned to specific groups, devices, and agents).

Primary operating systems that are supported by endpoint protection:

• Window
• Window servers
• Linux
• Mobile

The primary ways to handle false positives in endpoint protection are:

• Alert classification and succession
• Creating exclusion
• Policy fine-tuning
• Vendor submission
• Automatic mitigation

Primary type of scanning that supports endpoint security:

• Quick Scan, full scan, custom scan, on-access scan, and on demand scan.

Quarantine actions configured within security platforms include:

• Email security (e.g., Microsoft Defender for Office)
• File/data loss connection DLP (e.g., BroadCom DLP)
• Cloud application security (e.g., Microsoft Defender for cloud apps)
• Network and endpoint security (e.g., Cisco/ Service Now)

Primary type of scanning that supports endpoint security: Quick Scan, full scan, custom scan, on-access scan, and on demand scan.

Essential dashboards that show threat statistics:

• Threat analytics and intelligence dashboards
• Network security and firewall dashboards
• Vulnerability and endpoint protection dashboards

The behavior-based detection works in endpoint security:

• Establishment of baseline
• Continuous monitoring
• Anomaly detection
• Automated response

Endpoint protection integrates with SIEM tools via:

• log integration and normalization
• data correlation and detection
• automated incident response
• centralized visibility and reporting

These integrations enable real-time correlation of endpoint events.
