Installing Endpoint Security Solutions such as EPM and EDR on a non-bootable disk (secondary disk or separate partition) offers several advantages, especially from a security, performance, and disaster recovery perspective:
1. Reduced Risk of Malware Attacks: If malware compromises the bootable disk (typically C: drive), the Endpoint Security Application files on a separate non-bootable disk are less likely to be affected, ensuring the management console remains intact.
2. Isolation from OS Vulnerabilities: Keeping the Endpoint Security Application on a separate disk isolates it from OS-related vulnerabilities, minimizing risks from OS-level attacks.
3. Simplified Backup and Restore: You can back up Endpoint Security Application data separately from the OS, streamlining disaster recovery processes.
4. Optimized Disk Usage: It allows for dedicated disk resources, which can be especially useful in large environments with many End Machines.
5. Protection Against File System Corruption: In case of file system corruption on the primary boot drive, Endpoint Security Application data and logs remain safe on the non-bootable disk
6. Easy OS Reinstallation: If you need to reinstall or upgrade the OS, you can do so without impacting the Endpoint Security Application, as it resides on a separate disk.
