Endpoint Security

Endpoint security, also known as endpoint protection, is an approach to protecting a corporate network by securing individual endpoints - devices like desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. Endpoint security has evolved from traditional antivirus software to providing comprehensive protection against sophisticated malware and evolving cyber threats.
Previously, the classical antivirus approach was sufficient, but as the types of attacks and virus species have become more widespread, antivirus programs have also evolved and advanced, even developing protection methods for viruses that have not yet been written.

Machine learning and heuristic analysis are a few examples of these advancements. As different types of malicious software emerge and needs grow, the concept of Endpoint comes into play.

For instance, in addition to your antivirus software, encrypting your data to share it securely only with those you authorize from your environment, preventing data leaks like DLP, blocking the operation of applications on client computers, blocking access to unwanted websites and website categories, and preventing the operation of external devices (such as CD, DVD, USB), among many other areas, aim to both ensure user security and enable users to use their computers effectively.

Endpoint-installed computers continue to be protected and receive security policies even when outside the office. With centralized management, security rules can be created and distributed to computers and users on a per-computer basis in a short time, and comprehensive reporting can be obtained quickly to identify problematic users and computers.

Another advantageous aspect of endpoints is that they can work synchronously with UTM devices to stop problematic clients (such as computers with non-functioning antivirus services or viruses) from accessing other computers or the internet. 

Endpoint security solutions help organizations defend against a wide range of cyber threats, including malware, ransomware, phishing attacks, and data breaches. By protecting individual devices, endpoint security contributes to the overall security posture of the network and helps safeguard sensitive data and intellectual property.
