Panda Adaptive Endpoint Protection Plus.
NGAV, web filtering, and device control in one.
Panda AEP Plus builds on AEP's core NGAV with URL filtering and device control, blocking risky web categories and
unauthorized USB drives from introducing threats or exfiltrating data. Managed from Aether alongside AEP or AD360, it's
one console for protection, web policy, and device enforcement.

Adaptive Endpoint Protection Plus at a Glance
NGAV Core Protection
Inherits the full Adaptive Endpoint Protection antivirus engine, including Collective Intelligence
cloud lookups, behavioral heuristics, exploit prevention, and ransomware detection. Everything in AEP is
included in AEP Plus.
URL Filtering
Block or monitor web access by category across more than 60 URL classifications, including adult
content, gambling, social media, malware distribution sites, and phishing pages. Policies can be set per
user group and enforced on or off the corporate network.
Device Control
Restrict which types of removable media and peripheral devices can interact with protected endpoints.
Block unauthorized USB drives, optical media, and Bluetooth connections by policy, preventing both
malware introduction and unauthorized data removal.
Unified Aether Management
Web filtering rules and device access policies are configured and enforced from the same Aether console
that manages antivirus settings. Administrators maintain a single security policy view across all
features, all platforms, and all device locations.
AEP vs. AEP Plus vs. Adaptive Defense 360 - which tier fits?
Compare the full Panda endpoint protection lineup to find the right balance of prevention, control, and
response capability for your organization.
Adaptive Endpoint Protection Plus adds two key capabilities on top of the base AEP
antivirus engine: URL filtering and device control. URL filtering lets you block or restrict web
access by content category, protecting users from phishing sites, malware distribution URLs, and
non-work-related content. Device control lets you define which removable storage devices and
peripherals are allowed to interact with your endpoints, reducing the risk of data theft or malware
introduction via USB and similar media.
Yes. Because AEP Plus is cloud-managed, URL filtering policies apply to devices
wherever they connect to the internet. Remote employees, home office users, and traveling staff are
covered by the same web filtering rules as in-office machines, without needing to route their traffic
through a corporate VPN or proxy server. Policy enforcement is handled by the local agent using
cloud-based category lookups.
Yes. AEP Plus device control supports granular exception rules. You can whitelist
specific device types, manufacturers, or individual device IDs while blocking all others. For example,
you can allow a specific model of encrypted USB drive issued by your organization while blocking all
other removable media. These exceptions are configured per policy and apply to the user groups
assigned to that policy.
AEP Plus is well-suited for education environments where web content filtering is a
compliance requirement (CIPA in the US, for example) and device control helps prevent students from
copying data to unauthorized USB drives. The cloud-managed Aether console allows IT administrators to
manage protection policies for student and staff devices from a single interface, regardless of
whether devices are on campus or at home.
Yes. Customers who start with AEP Plus can upgrade to Adaptive Defense 360 mid-term
or at renewal without replacing the existing agent. The same lightweight Panda agent supports all
protection tiers, so upgrading is a license change rather than a reinstallation project. A
Firewalls.com specialist can help you plan the upgrade path and manage the transition with minimal
disruption.
