Endpoint protection: why built-in antivirus alone often isn't enough

Endpoint protection covers antivirus plus things like ransomware behaviour blocking, device encryption checks and centralised alerting, so your IT support actually sees a threat instead of only the affected PC. Windows Defender is a genuinely solid baseline, but a managed endpoint solution adds visibility across every device and a central response when something is caught.

Coach's tip: the biggest gap isn't usually the software — it's nobody watching the alerts it generates.
