Endpoint security is a framework for protecting endpoints, such as computers, laptops, smartphones, and other network-connected devices, from various types of security threats. Endpoints serve as entry points for cybercriminals and therefore require robust protection to prevent unauthorized access, data theft and malware distribution.

Endpoint security refers to a set of policies, technologies and practices designed to protect endpoints from threats, which may include:

• Malware: viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware and other forms of malware designed to harm devices and data.

• Penetration: Unauthorized access to endpoints with the intent to gain control, steal sensitive data, or compromise systems.

• Phishing: Cyberattacks that use fraudulent emails, text messages, or websites to trick users into revealing confidential information or clicking on dangerous links.

• Social Engineering: Cyberattacks that manipulate people into revealing sensitive information or taking actions that compromise security, such as sharing login credentials.

• Data Leakage: Inadvertent or intentional disclosure of sensitive information that can result in financial loss, reputational damage, and legal consequences
