Security Training & Awareness

What is Endpoint Security?

Endpoint security, or endpoint protection, is the cybersecurity approach to defending endpoints – such as desktops, laptops, and mobile devices – from malicious activity.

Why Endpoint Security is Important?

An endpoint security strategy is essential 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. According to a Gallup Poll, many US workers were remote in 2020, with 51% still remote in April of 2021. The risks posed by endpoints and their sensitive data are a challenge that`s not going away. The endpoint landscape is constantly changing, and businesses of all sizes are attractive targets for cyberattacks.

How Endpoint Protection Works

The terms endpoint protection, endpoint protection platforms (EPP), and endpoint security are all used interchangeably to describe the centrally managed security solutions that Data-Tech will leverage to protect endpoints like servers, workstations, mobile devices, and workloads from cybersecurity threats. Endpoint protection solutions work by examining files, processes, and system activity for suspicious or malicious indicators.
