Endpoint security is an approach to network protection that requires each computing device on a corporate network to comply with certain standards before network access is granted. Endpoints include PCs, laptops, smart phones, tablets etc.  Today, with the on the go work culture, people are working on a variety of devices, creating data on multiple endpoint devices that they carry with them all over the world, making them susceptible to risk of either getting lost, stolen or critical data being accidentally deleted .Unfortunately, even today not many of us are prepared when such disasters occur. As for those who are aware of endpoint protection, have a relatively easier way to deal with such catastrophes

Endpoint security systems work on a client server model in which a centrally managed server hosts the security program and an accompanying client program is installed on each network device. When a client attempts to log on to the network, the server program validates user credentials and scans the device to make sure that it complies with the defined security policies before allowing access to the network.

The challenge is how one can overcome this in a safe, efficient and cost effective way, to prevent the same scenario from repeating in future. Today, with the work environment taking a drastic change, data goes on laptops or smart phones employees carry. Servers are protected against external attacks using detection systems, firewall, malware scanners etc. They may even deploy identity management systems that audit and manage the activity of users on their networks.

But when it comes to portable devices, most IT managers do not know where to start. It’s the endpoints of the network where enterprises are most vulnerable to data leakage.
