Endian vs ExpressVPN

Endian provides an integrated cybersecurity platform that protects both IT and OT (operational technology) environments, spanning business infrastructure, networks, devices, applications, and users from internal and external threats. The company is based in Bolzano, Italy, and states it has more than 20 years of experience in cybersecurity. The platform includes Endian UTM for business IT environments and Endian 4i for industrial and OT operations, running on EndianOS across hardware appliances, virtual machines, and cloud instances. It also offers a centralized management suite for zero-trust controls and device lifecycle management, plus the Endian Connect app for secure remote device access, with a compliance focus on GDPR, IEC 62443, and NIS2.
