Endpoint security is the software program which protects devices such as desktops, laptops, servers and mobile devices from intrusions, exploits & known as well as unknown malwares. We can also say that Endpoint security is the practice of safeguarding the data and workflows associated with the individual devices that connect to your internal network (LAN & WAN) as well as the internet.
Apart from anti-malware function endpoint security software also includes host intrusion prevention protection (HIPS), device control, web control (restrict access to malicious websites & phishing URL’s) & application control (blocks the use of applications that are unsafe or unauthorized)
The Endpoint security can be managed centrally from on-premises or cloud based (SAAS) platforms.. Once the endpoint client software has been set up, it obtains security updates from its central management software or internet. When the EPP is set up, it can quickly detect malware and other threats
