Endpoint security

“

- [Mike] Endpoints are the first line of defense against cybersecurity adversaries. From desktops and servers in our offices, to the laptops, tablets and smartphones that roam the globe in the hands of our users, endpoints present an attractive target for attackers. Undefended endpoints pose a significant risk to the entire organization's security, because a compromised endpoint can serve as the jumping off point for a larger attack against the entire network. Because of this, protecting endpoints is an important responsibility for cybersecurity professionals. Building strong endpoint protection requires working hand-in-hand with frontline support teams who interact with users on a regular basis. Understanding endpoint security is an important component of preparing for the Security+ exam. Hi, I'm Mike Chapple, and I'd like to invite you to watch my course on Endpoint Security Design and Implementation. It's part of a 10-course series preparing you for the Security+ exam. I hope that you'll join me as we explore the world of endpoint security.
