Business stakeholders use desktops, laptops, and other mobile devices to connect to the organization’s network. Hackers can target these entry or endpoints to gain unauthorized access. From here on, they can launch attacks to go after business data.

Endpoint security protects these devices from malicious attacks. Traditional practices like installing antivirus on all devices have since evolved to include advanced identification and remediation.

They also use behavioral AI to monitor processes and identify any suspicious behavior.
