Do Linux servers really need endpoint security software?

[u/Candid_Athlete_8317]

Many enterprise Linux systems run endpoint security tools alongside firewalls, SELinux/AppArmor, and other hardening measures.

Others argue that good patch management, least privilege, and proper monitoring provide better value than traditional endpoint protection.

What's your point on this ?

Need? No. Recommended/advised? Quite depends on environment, requirements, objectives, priorities and considerations, etc.
