Measuring Success
How to Measure Success
Illustrative measures. Agree a baseline first, and keep targets separate from measured results.
Endpoint Coverage
The share of devices with active protection.
Patch Compliance
The share of devices up to date.
Time to Contain
How quickly an affected device is isolated.
Blocked Threats
Threats stopped at endpoints and the network.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this use case.
Is antivirus enough to protect our devices?
Traditional antivirus misses many modern attacks. Endpoint detection and response, network segmentation and coordinated policies give stronger protection.
Will new protection slow down devices?
Modern agents are designed to be light; rollout starts with a pilot group so any impact is found and fixed before wider deployment.
What information is needed to get started?
A device inventory, the sites and networks in use, current security tools and contracts, and recent incidents.
Which environments does this apply to?
Offices, branches, remote users and cloud, across common device types and servers.
How is progress measured?
Agree a baseline for measures such as endpoint coverage, patch compliance, time to contain and blocked threats, then track them over time.
