What is Endpoint Security?

by Paul Davies

Endpoint Security

Endpoint security is the practice of securing individual devices that connect to an organisation's network, such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, and desktops.

It involves deploying security solutions like antivirus software, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems on these devices to protect against threats such as malware, phishing, and data breaches. With the rise of remote work and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies, endpoint security has become more critical than ever.

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions provide advanced monitoring and threat hunting capabilities, allowing organisations to detect and respond to sophisticated attacks on endpoints in real time.
