What’s the endpoint security app recommendations these days, looking at covering Windows devices and IOS devices for family members.
Firewall wise currently have pfsense and Sophos XG implemented.

For business we use Huntress and S1 but for home Windows systems I would use the Windows Defender that is built in. I don’t see the point or need for an AV app for Android or IOS.

I asked Huntress for a quote / demo, they scheduled a time, but nobody from their side attended the online slot.
Well that is not good, have you reached out and heard back from them?
you can try ThreatLocker or Crowdstrike.
I was going have a look at Crowdstrike
For personal use, I prefer Bitdefender Total Security. One license supports up to five devices. It also includes some VPN access and other features per device.
For iPhones, most security apps require you to keep the VPN enabled and install their profile to monitor activity. However, things work much more smoothly on Android devices. Both Windows and Mac PCs run well with Bitdefender, and it effectively detects most threats.
yeah, you should try it!
I’m very happy with gravityzone bitdefender premium for windows + their separate mobile application. I use the bitdefender VPN because it is easily tweakable on what it blocks/allows. for PC proton VPN and other proton apps. We are a very small company. Happy to hear pro/cons or alternatives from others.
Any added benefit for iOS from looking at MDM & Apple Business Manager (ABM)? Have no experience but interested.
Have you considered using an open source product?
If this is an option for you you may take a look at Wazuh, there are XDR agents for Windows, macOS and Linux.
Running AV on phones is less useful than you might believe. If you want to do more, you could deploy Suricata to check the traffic of the phones when connected to the home network using the ECHAP Stalkerware rules (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AssoEchap/stalkerware-indicators/refs/heads/master/generated/suricata.rules) and inspect the phones periodically using MVT (Android and iOS) ( GitHub - mvt-project/mvt: MVT (Mobile Verification Toolkit) helps with conducting forensics of mobile devices in order to find signs of a potential compromise. ).
