What Is Endpoint Security?

by · Published · Updated


Endpoint security protects devices such as laptops, desktops, servers, and mobile devices that connect to an organization’s network and systems.

What Does Endpoint Security Include?

Endpoint security can include antivirus protection, endpoint detection and response, device control, vulnerability management, threat prevention, and centralized monitoring.

Why Is It Important?

Endpoints are common targets for malware, phishing, credential theft, and ransomware. Protecting them reduces the opportunity for attackers to gain access to business systems.

Endpoint Security for Businesses

Organizations often combine endpoint protection with identity security, network security, backups, employee training, and monitoring.

Businesses that do not have enough internal security expertise may also work with an MSP or MSSP for ongoing endpoint management and security monitoring.
