End Point Security
Endpoint protection involves monitoring and protecting endpoints against cyber threats. Protected endpoints include desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablet computers, and other devices. Various cybersecurity solutions can be installed on and monitor these devices to protect them against cyber threats regardless of where they are located on or off of the corporate network.
Why is Endpoint Protection important?
The transition to remote and hybrid work models has transformed businesses’ IT infrastructures, moving corporate endpoints outside the enterprise network and its perimeter-based defenses. As endpoints become organizations’ first line of defense against cyber attacks, they require endpoint security solutions to identify and block these threats before they pose a risk to the company.
Endpoints are the target of many cyberattacks, and, with shifts in corporate IT infrastructure, are becoming more vulnerable to attack. Increased support for remote work moves corporate endpoints outside of the enterprise network and its protections. Bring your own device (BYOD) policies allow employee-owned devices to connect to the enterprise network and access sensitive corporate data.
Endpoint protection has always been important for defense in depth, but the blurring of the enterprise network perimeter due to remote work and BYOD policies has made it even more important. Endpoints are companies’ first line of defense against cyber threats and a major source of cyber risk.
How Does It Work?
Endpoint protection works via a combination of network and device-level defenses. At the network level, the organization may restrict access to the enterprise network based on a device’s compliance with corporate security policies and least privilege. By blocking insecure devices from accessing the corporate network and sensitive resources, the organization restricts its attack surface and enforces its security policies.
Organizations may also install software directly on an endpoint to monitor and protect it. This includes both standalone solutions and ones that use an agent installed on the device to allow it to be centrally monitored, controlled, and protected. This allows an organization to monitor and protect devices that may not always be connected directly to the e

How Do Endpoint Security Tools Work?
Endpoint protection strategies and solutions aim to secure endpoints, whether they are connected to the network or have transient interconnectivity.Endpoint security software may be:
Centrally managed via agentless technology
Installed as client or agent on individual endpoints
Cloud-based
Involve a combination of the above implementations
Protection for individual consumers focuses on technologies deployed on the device. Enterprises, on the other hand, should heavily rely on centralized management across the corporate network. This enables the administration of patches, configuration changes, deployment of policy updates, gather logs, and more.
