Endpoint security or endpoint protection is an approach to the protection of computer networks that are remotely bridged to client devices. The connection of endpoint devices such as laptops, tablets, mobile phones, and other wireless devices to corporate networks creates attack paths for security threats.^[1] Endpoint security attempts to ensure that such devices follow compliance to standards.^[2]

The endpoint security space has evolved since the 2010s away from limited antivirus software and into more advanced, comprehensive defenses. This includes next-generation antivirus, threat detection, investigation, and response, device management, data loss prevention (DLP), patch management, and other considerations to face evolving threats.
