Endpoint security is the practice of protecting devices that connect to your network from cyber threats. Different Endpoint protection platforms (EPPs) take different approaches, all of which include:

1. Using application control to block the download and use of unsafe or unauthorized applications.
2. Encryption to help secure data and prevent loss.
3. Incoming email and file scanning.

The five key things to look for in an endpoint security solution include:

1. Cyber-threat detection and prevention.
2. Continuous monitoring, recording, and learning.
3. Rapid and automated cyber threat response.
4. Incident investigation and remediation support.
5. Centralized application and device control.

Endpoint security tools include:

1. Email scanning, detection, and protection.
2. Scanning for malicious downloads.
3. Application and device control.
4. Advanced machine monitoring and learning.
5. Protection from cyber exploits.
6. Data loss protection.
7. Reports and alerts.
8. Incident investigation and remediation.

Endpoint security protects network entry points such as desktops, laptops, mobile phones, and tablets from cyber threats. Endpoint security solutions protect employee devices on a network or in the cloud from cybersecurity threats in business.

Endpoint security is the practice of securing network entry points such as desktops, laptops, and mobile devices from being exploited by cybersecurity threat actors. Cybersecurity software vendors design endpoint security solutions to protect network entry points from cybersecurity threats.
