What is endpoint protection?

Endpoint protection refers to the security measures and software solutions used to protect individual devices—such as computers, smartphones, and tablets—from cyber threats. These solutions help prevent malware, unauthorized access, and data breaches by monitoring, detecting, and responding to suspicious activity on endpoints. Endpoint protection platforms often include features like antivirus, firewall, intrusion detection, and device management tools. They are essential for organizations to secure sensitive information and maintain compliance with data protection regulations.
