Endpoint agents are the foundation of any effective endpoint detection and response strategy. Fidelis Endpoint® deploys a single lightweight agent per endpoint device. No separate AV process, no secondary forensic collector, no additional endpoint security tools stacked on top of each other. One agent handles prevention, detection, investigation, forensics, and automated response across Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems, through the same management interface.
Every process and child process is monitored continuously. Behavioral patterns, registry changes, file operations, and network activity are captured in real time and stored in the Endpoint Collector, a centralized behavioral metadata store retaining 30, 60, or 90 days of history by default, with longer retention available. This gives security teams comprehensive visibility into endpoint environments without deploying separate tools for each function.
Detection logic and threat intelligence run locally on each endpoint device. Managed devices operating outside corporate networks, including remote workers, air-gapped segments, and field devices, maintain full detection coverage. Cached data synchronizes back to the management platform once connectivity resumes, supporting consistent off-site device management without gaps in endpoint monitoring.
For enterprise security teams replacing fragmented endpoint security solutions with a consolidated approach, the single-agent architecture reduces attack surface introduced by agent conflicts and simplifies endpoint management across large fleets.
Organizations running unified endpoint management (UEM) or mobile device management (MDM) programs alongside a traditional EDR will find the Fidelis agent fits within existing endpoint device management workflows. It does not require replacing current mobile device management or device management infrastructure; it layers endpoint detection and response on top of whatever management tooling is already in place.
