Endpoint Security or Endpoint Protection is a technology that protects the network by securing each end node accessing the network. The most basic element of endpoint security is anti-virus (anti-malware) software configured for real-time protection of the end computer. This ensures that the users' computers do not act as a gateway for malware to enter the corporate network. Other elements of endpoint security may include policy based authorization of the computers that not only validate the anti-malware but also verify compliance with other policies such as OS versions, security updates status, etc.
