What is EndPoint?
Endpoint management is the centralised process of managing and securing all endpoint devices connected to a network. These endpoints include computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, and other devices that access an organisation’s network.
Effective endpoint management ensures that these devices are secure, compliant with company policies, and operating efficiently.
It involves deploying, updating, and troubleshooting software and hardware, managing access rights, and implementing security measures to protect against cyber threats.
