Endpoint Security

Definition

Endpoint security refers to the protection of individual devices, such as computers, smartphones, and servers, connected to a network. This security approach defends endpoints from cyber threats by implementing various measures, including antivirus software, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and data encryption. It ensures that each device acts as a secure access point, preventing malicious actors from gaining entry to the broader network or sensitive data. Effective endpoint security is a critical layer in an organization’s overall cybersecurity posture, particularly relevant for safeguarding digital asset operations.
