Endpoint security focuses on protecting devices that connect to a network, including laptops, desktops, servers, and mobile devices. Solutions typically combine antivirus, endpoint detection and response (EDR), and behavioral monitoring to prevent malware, ransomware, phishing, and other cyberattacks.

By continuously monitoring endpoints and applying real-time threat intelligence, endpoint security ensures that vulnerabilities are detected and mitigated before they can compromise the broader network. Modern cloud-based platforms also allow centralized management and automated response for large-scale deployments.
