Sangfor Athena EPP - Modern Endpoint Protection Platform
The Future of Endpoint Security
Sangfor Athena EPP (previously known as Sangfor Endpoint Secure) redefines endpoint protection by combining next-generation antivirus (NGAV), endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities, and endpoint management into a single, powerful solution.
It delivers end-to-end protection, detection, and response across endpoints on your entire network—ensuring seamless management, streamlined operations, and simplified maintenance. Its flexible, scalable architecture supports on-premises, cloud-based, and hybrid deployments, making it the ideal choice for organizations of all sizes seeking robust and adaptive endpoint security.
Modern Endpoint Protection Platform
Athena EPP Key Features & Capabilities
-
Pre-Attack Prevention
Athena EPP provides complete visibility and centralized management of endpoint assets, including inventory, discovery, and software usage monitoring. This helps administrators identify and take actions on unauthorized or vulnerable devices and software, enforce policy compliance, and maintain operational oversight.
-
Pre-Attack Prevention
Athena EPP proactively detects system vulnerabilities and provides patching capabilities to fix them. It helps organizations reduce their attack surface by addressing configuration flaws and outdated software, supporting continuous compliance with security baselines and minimizing the risk of exploitation.
-
During-Attack Detection
Sangfor Engine Zero uses AI detection technology to identify unknown and evolving threats, including fileless attacks and zero-day exploits. Real-time behavioral analysis, backed by threat intelligence from Neural-X, ensures threats are detected accurately and quickly, even when traditional signature-based antivirus engines would miss them.
-
During-Attack Detection
Athena EPP includes ransomware defenses such as endpoint honeypot, behavioral monitoring, and rapid process termination. It blocks malicious encryption activities within 3 seconds, achieving 99.83% detection accuracy from data gathered across 12 million endpoints, offering robust protection against both known and emerging ransomware variants.
-
Post-Attack Remediation
The platform enables in-depth investigation with capabilities like attack chain visualization and MITRE ATT&CK mapping. Security teams can trace the root cause, correlate events across affected assets, and identify lateral movements, enabling targeted remediation and better preparedness against repeat or persistent threats.
-
Post-Attack Remediation
In the event of encryption, Athena EPP offers ransomware recovery through automatic file backup and integration with Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). Once malicious processes are blocked, backed-up files can be swiftly restored, minimizing downtime and data loss while ensuring business continuity after an attack.
Athena EPP Use Cases
-
Athena EPP enables centralized security management through a single console, streamlining operations and ensuring consistent protection across all endpoints.
-
With a ransomware honeypot, AI-powered behavioral detection engines, and file recovery capabilities, Athena EPP excels in the protection against all types of ransomware.
-
Athena EPP can serve as a component of an XDR setup, feeding real-time endpoint telemetry to the platform for correlation analysis and executing automated response actions.
Athena EPP Competitive Advantages
-
Unlike competitors that require separate tools for endpoint protection and management, Athena EPP integrates both into a single solution. This reduces operational complexity, compatibility issues, and cost, offering value that fragmented solutions struggle to match.
-
Athena EPP natively integrates with Sangfor’s security ecosystem, including Athena NGFW, SWG, NDR, XDR, and MDR, to deliver diverse and specialized solutions, whereas some vendors require third-party integrations to provide the same capabilities.
-
Athena EPP stands out with third-party validation: a “Top Product” AV-Test award with perfects scores on numerous tests and a 95% “Willingness to Recommend” score in Gartner Voice of the Customer for EPP—surpassing industry averages.
-
Athena EPP offers malware protection, vulnerability scanning, patch management, and device control under one cost-competitive license. This all-in-one model reduces tool sprawl and operational costs while maintaining robust endpoint security coverage.
