Endpoint protection, also known as endpoint security, is the practice of securing endpoints or entry points of end-user devices such as desktops, laptops, and mobile devices from being exploited by malicious actors and campaigns. Endpoint security systems protect these endpoints on a network or in the cloud from cybersecurity threats. Endpoint protection has evolved from traditional antivirus software to providing comprehensive protection from sophisticated malware and evolving zero-day threats. Today’s endpoint protection systems are designed to quickly detect, analyze, block, and contain attacks in progress. Endpoint protection works via a combination of network and device-level defenses. An endpoint protection platform is a vital part of enterprise cybersecurity because every remote endpoint can be the entry point for an attack, and the number of endpoints is only increasing with the rapid pandemic-related shift to remote work. Endpoint security combines preventative endpoint protection with a new breed of continuous detection and response capabilities. Endpoint security solutions take a cloud-based approach to instantly access the latest threat intelligence without requiring manual updates from security. Endpoint security management is a software approach that helps to identify and manage the users computer and data access over a corporate network. This allows the network administrator to restrict the use of sensitive data as well as certain website access to specific users, to maintain, and comply with the organizations policies and standards. Endpoint protection platforms also allow IT admins to monitor operation functions and data backup strategies.
