Endpoint Protection
Endpoint protection is a security solution that protects individual devices like computers, laptops, and smartphones from cyber threats. It acts like an advanced antivirus, securing the entry points to a corporate network.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) is a cybersecurity solution deployed on endpoint devices to prevent file-based malware attacks, detect malicious activity, and provide investigation and remediation capabilities. It integrates technologies like next-generation antivirus (NGAV), host-based firewalls, and endpoint detection and response (EDR) to secure desktops, laptops, and mobile devices from cyber threats and data breaches.
BACKGROUND
Computer security is a subdiscipline within the field of information security. It focuses on protecting computer software, systems, and networks from threats that can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, theft, or damage to hardware, software, or data, as well as to the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
