Description:
Endpoint Security is a broad, multi-faceted cyber security approach designed to safeguard endpoint devices (computers, smartphones, tablets, servers, IoT devices, etc.) that connect to a network. These endpoints are often the first line of defense and, conversely, can also be the most vulnerable points of entry for cybercriminals seeking to infiltrate a network. The core objective of endpoint security is to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and cyber attacks that can compromise sensitive information or disrupt business operations.
As more devices
connect to networks—especially with the rise of remote work and IoT—securing
each endpoint is critical to maintaining the overall security of the
organization. Endpoint security combines several proactive and reactive
measures to ensure that threats are prevented, detected, and remediated
quickly.
