Endpoint Protection
Endpoint Protection is a cybersecurity solution designed to secure endpoints such as desktops, laptops, mobile devices, and servers from malicious threats like malware, ransomware, and unauthorized access. It typically includes features such as antivirus, firewall, intrusion detection, and data encryption to provide comprehensive security at the device level. The goal is to prevent, detect, and respond to security incidents on individual endpoints within a network.
Developers should learn and use Endpoint Protection when building or maintaining applications that handle sensitive data, operate in regulated industries (e.g., finance, healthcare), or require robust security measures to protect against cyber threats. It is essential for ensuring compliance with standards like GDPR or HIPAA, securing remote work environments, and safeguarding against data breaches that could compromise user information or system integrity.
