Endpoint Security or Endpoint Protection refers to the methodology of protecting from threats the various endpoints- desktops, laptops, servers, smartphones, IoT devices etc- that are connected to a network. This is important since unsecured endpoints could provide entry points for threats and malware. An endpoint security system would have a centrally located security software (located on a centrally managed server or gateway within the network) plus a client software that's installed on each endpoint or endpoint device, and offers an assortment of different security software including antivirus, firewall etc.
Endpoint security software and antivirus software are entirely different. Endpoint security software protects not an individual device but the whole network. While a network is protected with an endpoint protection software, each endpoint device in the same network needs to be protected with security software- with antivirus or antimalware tools.
Endpoint Security Solutions work on a client-server model and would be centrally located within a network on a centrally managed and accessible server or gateway. The client software would be located on each endpoint or endpoint device. It all works with the authentication of logins from the endpoints and the security software simultaneously updating client software when needed. When it works as a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) model, the security programs and the host server are both maintained remotely by the merchant.
