Endpoint Devices
Hardware or virtual devices like laptops, phones, or desktops that connect to networks and systems.
Endpoint devices are the laptops, desktops, mobile devices, and similar hardware or virtual machines that people use to access systems and data.
They are a common target for attacks, so organizations typically enforce controls like disk encryption, endpoint protection tools, patch management, and mobile device management (MDM).
Endpoint security is a key part of safeguarding access to production systems and sensitive data, especially in distributed and remote-first teams.
