Dear Valued Customer,

F-PROT endpoint has had a long and successful history, and we thank you for your support as a Cyren customer. There are many other options in the market for endpoint AV, and Cyren has decided to focus on enterprise solutions. As a result, we can no longer support the F-PROT Endpoint product line.

°   31-July-2021 End-of-Life Date (last data when the product will be supported and signature updates provided)

We thank you for your support and commitment to Cyren and F-PROT.

Sincerely,
Cyren team

I presume 'Endpoint' is jargon for individual users.  I used F-PROT for years on DOS and then Windows.  Shame to see it go.

Different companies seem to have differing views of what 'Endpoint' means.  I know that with Kaspersky and Symantec, Endpoint denotes a client in an Enterprise solution.

I think in most cases, "Endpoint" is synonymous with "Individual monetary stream to be exploited".
