What is the purpose of EPC (End Point Control)?

The purpose of End Point Control (EPC) is centered around safeguarding sensitive data and ensuring that endpoint devices adhere to security policies before they can access the network. This feature plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of information by verifying that devices meet the organization’s security standards. By performing checks such as operating system updates, anti-virus status, and compliance with policy configurations, EPC ensures that only secure and compliant devices can connect, thereby enhancing overall network security.

While there are other functions and features associated with secure access and network management, EPC's primary aim is focused on endpoint security, making it essential for protecting sensitive data from potential threats and vulnerabilities that could arise from insecure devices accessing the network.
