Endpoint protection, a crucial component of cybersecurity, safeguards individual devices like laptops, desktops, and mobile phones from malicious threats attempting to exploit vulnerabilities in endpoint devices to gain access to sensitive data or disrupt system functionality.
Endpoint protection goes beyond traditional antivirus software, offering a comprehensive suite of security measures to combat sophisticated cyber threats. It employs advanced technologies like intrusion detection and prevention systems, application control, data encryption, and endpoint detection and response (EDR) to protect against malware, ransomware, phishing attacks, and other threats.
