Examples of endpoint devices would be your phone, laptop, or home computer that is connected to the network. The more devices that are used to access this network, the more opportunities hackers have at infiltrating that network’s firewall. Endpoint security management takes a software approach to allow network administrators to identify and manage end-users’ device access.
Endpoint security examples include:
- Managed antivirus software
- Web filtering
- Application/patch management
- Virtual private network (VPN) software
- Data and email encryption
