What Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys does

Endpoint Protector, developed by CoSoSys SRL (founded 2004 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, with US headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina), is a multi-operating-system Data Loss Prevention (DLP) platform now operating under the Netwrix umbrella as indicated by its "Endpoint Protector by Netwrix" branding. The platform provides real-time endpoint data protection across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments — including printers and thin clients — through four modular components: Device Control (granular USB and peripheral management by vendor ID, product ID, and serial number), Content-Aware Protection (content inspection and contextual scanning of file transfers), Enforced Encryption (256-bit AES CBC-mode USB encryption), and eDiscovery (sensitive data discovery on data at rest). Underlying technology includes N-gram-based text categorization for intellectual property discovery across hundreds of file formats and same-day zero-day support for new operating system releases. The platform is offered via SaaS, cloud-hosted (AWS, Azure, GCP), virtual appliance, and on-premise deployments.

The company sells primarily to enterprise customers through an enterprise field sales motion supported by a global certified reseller and distribution partner network, technology integration partnerships, and an OEM/white-label channel. Direct sales operations span the US, Germany, Spain, and Romania, with pricing delivered via quote-based annual subscriptions on a modular basis. Target verticals include healthcare, finance, technology and software, pharmaceutical, legal, aerospace and defense, manufacturing, consulting, and thirteen other industries, with compliance coverage spanning GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST 800-171, ISO 27001, TISAX, CCPA, LGPD, and India's DPDP. Named customers include Samsung R&D Institute, Honda Lock, and Spectrum of Hope, and the product has earned G2 Leader and High Performer awards in 2024, a Globee Award in 2023, an Infosec Award in 2022, and a highly-rated Gartner Peer Insights designation. The company discontinued four legacy products (My Endpoint Protector, Endpoint Protector Basic, EasyLock, Carry it Easy) to consolidate around the core platform, and has expanded into a DLP for LLMs solution to address generative AI data leakage risks.

The corporate structure includes CoSoSys SRL (Romania), Managed Data Loss Prevention Inc. (USA), and Endpoint Protector GmbH (Germany) under the CoSoSys Group, with Netwrix as the apparent parent company following the rebrand. Turn/River Capital invested in the company in February 2020. The platform has historically been differentiated by true cross-OS feature parity, lightweight agents deployable in under 30 minutes, and a centralized administration dashboard with SIEM integration — features that support an enterprise positioning against broader single-platform DLP competitors.
