Explanation

Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) serve different but complementary roles in endpoint security: - EPP is primarily preventive. It focuses on stopping known threats before they execute, using tools like signature-based antivirus, firewalling, and basic behavioral controls. - EDR is primarily detective and responsive. It continuously monitors endpoint activity to detect suspicious or malicious behavior, then enables investigation, alerting, and response after a threat has begun executing.
