Almost all business enterprises today are using network to carry out their business works. Some of them use their network system simply to establish a connection among multiple computers so that the network clients who use those computers can share digital data among one another. Some others use their network system to establish a connection not only among computers, but also among devices that can connect to such network system, including laptops, tablets, smartphones, and other stationary and mobile devices. The latter model becomes more prominent today when IT consumerization becomes a pervasive trend in the business world. Because there are corporate data circulating in such network system and most of those data are confidential and important, a reliable security system is required in order to keep those circulating data safe from any nefarious activities.
Formerly, a corporation that establishes such network system makes use of traditional antivirus and firewall applications that protect its corporate data from attacks done by viruses, spywares and even people. As time goes by, traditional antivirus quickly becomes obsolete because the threats that attack those data become increasingly advanced and complicated. A new security system, which is called Endpoint Security, is then introduced to the business world. Endpoint refers to client that is connected to the network. Therefore, endpoint protection system is a system that protects all clients, or endpoints, that are connected to the network. This security system is managed centrally from the server and makes sure there is no client, or rootkits and viruses infecting it, that performs harmful action to all corporate data circulating in the network.
Endpoint protection application is now being released by various prominent antivirus developers. Therefore, companies that are in need of this application can find it quite conveniently. By simply looking for it at the internet, they can mostly find it without problem.
