The Sensor Management Platform (SMP) ships all relevant host and network data
directly to the {siem-app}.
The Elastic Endpoint provides capabilities such as collecting events, detecting and preventing malicious activity, whitelisting and artifact delivery. A single unified agent is used to install the endpoint on hosts. Agents and integrations are managed by the Ingest Manager.
