Endpoint protection

Endpoint Protection = A security solution designed to protect end-user devices such as computers, smartphones, and tablets from malware, ransomware, and other cyber threats.
Antivirus software = A program that detects, prevents, and removes malicious software from endpoints to ensure system integrity.
Malware protection = A set of tools and techniques used to detect and prevent malicious software (malware) from infecting endpoint devices.
Ransomware protection = A security measure to defend endpoints against ransomware attacks that lock or encrypt data, demanding payment for release.
Firewall = A network security system that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing traffic based on predetermined security rules, protecting endpoints from unauthorized access.
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) = A security solution that provides continuous monitoring, detection, and response to threats across all endpoint devices.
Data loss prevention (DLP) = A strategy and set of tools used to prevent unauthorized access, transfer, or leakage of sensitive information from endpoints.
Patch management = The process of regularly updating software on endpoints to fix vulnerabilities and improve security.
Device encryption = The process of encoding data on endpoint devices to prevent unauthorized access if the device is lost or stolen.
Behavioral analysis = A method of detecting suspicious activity on endpoints by analyzing the behavior of applications and users rather than relying solely on signatures.
Zero-day protection = Protection against vulnerabilities that are exploited before the software vendor releases a patch.
Cloud-based endpoint protection = Endpoint protection solutions that are hosted in the cloud, enabling real-time updates and centralized management.
Mobile device management (MDM) = A system for managing, securing, and monitoring smartphones, tablets, and other mobile endpoints within an organization.
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) = A system that collects and analyzes security data from endpoint devices, providing insights for threat detection and response.
Next-generation antivirus (NGAV) = Advanced antivirus solutions that incorporate machine learning and behavior-based detection to identify and prevent new, unknown threats.
Incident response = The process of detecting, investigating, and responding to security incidents involving endpoint devices.
Endpoint firewall = A local firewall running on an endpoint device, controlling network traffic and preventing unauthorized access.
