THE LEGEND

Five kinds of doors, one blueprint.

"Endpoint protection" isn't one product — it's coverage across every device type that touches your network. Most breaches start at the one nobody mapped.

Servers

Highest value, usually best protected. The blind spots are patch timing and lateral movement once one is compromised.

Laptops & workstations

Leave the network daily. The single most common entry point for ransomware in businesses under 500 employees.

Mobile & remote

Personal phones checking company email. Rarely covered by traditional antivirus, almost never by MDM.

POS & IoT

Cameras, card readers, smart locks. Long-lived firmware that nobody owns updating.


WHY IT MATTERS

Most businesses get matched wrong — in both directions.

Buy too little and one unmanaged laptop takes down the business. Buy too much and you're paying enterprise EDR prices for a five-person office, with a console nobody has time to watch.

vendor demos it typically takes before someone just picks the loudest sales rep
01

Over-buying enterprise tools

Paying for correlation and threat-hunting features with no one to run them, on a five-person IT team wearing six hats.

02

Under-protecting mobile and remote

Traditional antivirus was built for desktops. Half the workforce isn't on one anymore.

03

No one watching the alerts

A tool that flags a threat at 2 a.m. is only useful if someone — or something — is watching. Most SMBs have neither.

04

Choosing based on the demo, not the fit

The best-run sales process usually wins the deal. It rarely means it's the right tool for your environment.


HOW MATCHING WORKS

Three steps. No pressure.

This runs in order — each step narrows the field before you ever talk to a vendor.

01

Map your environment

Eight questions about device count, mix, remote work, and current tools. No account required.

02

We score against vetted providers

Your risk profile is checked against EDR, MDR, and managed AV providers available through our technology partner network — already screened for fit and pricing honesty, not picked from a paid placement list.

03

You get 2–3 matches, plainly explained

What each one covers, what it costs, and what it doesn't do. Talk to a provider only when you decide to.


FREE ASSESSMENT

Get matched to the right endpoint protection.

Four minutes. No obligation. We'll send your matches to your inbox — you decide if and when to talk to anyone.

STEP 1 OF 9

Endpoint Protection Advisors works with a technology solutions network that has existing agreements with the providers in your results, and may receive compensation through that network when you move forward with one. Compensation never affects which providers are shown or how they're ranked — matches are scored on fit to your environment first.


QUESTIONS

Before you start

Is this free?

Yes. The assessment and your matches cost nothing. We're paid by providers only if you choose to move forward with one — never by you.

Will I get spammed by sales calls?

No. Your contact information isn't shared with a provider until you explicitly choose to connect with them.

Who's behind this?

Built by a small team with a background in enterprise security sales and 20+ years watching businesses get mismatched to tools that don't fit — on both ends of the deal.

What if I already have a provider?

The assessment will tell you if what you have is right-sized, over-built, or leaving gaps — even if you don't switch.

How are providers chosen and paid?

We work through an established technology solutions network rather than one-off vendor deals, so pricing and terms are pre-negotiated, not marked up per referral. You'll always know which provider you're being connected to before anything is shared.
