There are many endpoint approaches from different resources revolving in the world. Most of the people think that there is no exact and perfect definition of endpoint security. Endpoint security is a thought or concept which explains that all parts of a system (endpoints) are individually responsible for the security against any sort of virus. Endpoint security is a conclusion of how to manage and deal with the problem.
There are many kind of security software available in the market like different anti-virus and firewalls that helps all type of computer systems against all type of viruses. To get the better understanding about the endpoint security we should have a complete knowledge about the working process of security software. Endpoint security system is available in the market as a server/client package, server software becomes installed in the server computer, and then it provides all the updates to the client computers regarding their protection and safety against viruses. The client computers (also known as endpoints) could be laptops, PC’s, scanners and other devices.
After installation of endpoint security, the server becomes responsible for the protection of all of its endpoints, so there is no need for endpoints (PC’s, Laptops or computer system) to acquire the security software individually. The server can itself provides the security updates and security threats (if found in any endpoint) to all of its endpoints when it get connected to the internet, so endpoints can secure it selves without wasting money and time on getting extra endpoint security system.
The most commonly used endpoint security is the firewall and the antivirus. Besides these two now there are also some other protections are available in the market and you can also get them from internet to make your system as protected as you want it to be.
There are many kinds of security systems available in the market or internet that are made for individual and networks both. In network environment the server computer gets the complete authority to protect the endpoints without personally going to each and every computer to remove its security weaknesses.
The viruses not only come from the internal sources, whereas the main source of virus is external devises like Data Cables, USB and other data transferring devices. The external devices always work as a pile of viruses because they are being used in different computer systems so they can easily transfer the viruses of one system to another. And from here the endpoint security starts its working; it always works to keep your system secure from the negative impacts of external devices. Apart from external devices internet is also a big source of transferring virus in your system and endpoint security system keeps the system clean from internet viruses. The main quality of endpoint security is that it allows the user/server to keep a close eye on every part of computer system regarding security issues and it also allows the server to put ban on usage of certain external devices on the system as well as it can also prohibit the installation and downloading of unnecessary things/software to make it as secure as possible.
In the big companies where lots of people works on computers and the owner wants to make a full check and balance on the activities of his employees so that they can’t be able to misuse the computer system in anyways. Then the owner can easily control and maintain the working and security of all of its endpoint by using endpoint security system. Now you can easily give the complete access to your employees over their computers because you can maintain their security and can update them right from your own computer system. So you need not to worry about the security of your endpoints as endpoint security system is now in your hands.
