Note- Endpoint Security means protecting devices such as tablets, laptops and smartphones which connect to the corporate network. As per security experts, these endpoints are extremely vulnerable to hackers, as they can act as access points for launching cyber attacks such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) and data thefts.
