Endpoint protection is highly dependent on your particular infrastructure, your location(s) world-wide and the laws you must adhere to, your company's expertise in such products, how it would fit into your larger cyber defense and insider threat programs, etc. What works for one company might not work for your company. Instead, I would recommend that you hire a cyber security consultancy company to evaluate your particular situation and to make a recommendation. Ensure the company you hire is not affiliated with any particular cyber security company - you are looking for an informed and objective opinion and then you can go from there. Last thing, expect to implement multiple programs/services to secure, defend, and guard against insider threats to your infrastructure.Director / Sr Principal, Global Products and Technology in Healthcare and Biotech10 months ago

While choosing an endpoint protection solution, consider factors such as scalability, ease of management, integration capabilities with your existing infrastructure, and the specific security needs of your manufacturing environment. It's also crucial to stay updated on the latest threats and ensure that the chosen solution can adapt to evolving cybersecurity challenges. Additionally, consider engaging with the vendors for proof of concept (POC) trials to assess the product's effectiveness in your specific environment before making a final decision which I am sure you would anyways do :)
