Endpoint security is a client/server information security (IS) methodology for protecting a corporate network. Security software is installed on any endpoint device, as well as network servers. Software may include antivirus, antispyware, firewall and host intrusion prevention system (HIPS) Some complex endpoint security programs focus on user device authentication. As a user attempts to login, credentials are validated, and the device is scanned for compliance with corporate policies. This may include a scan for unauthorized software (such as games and peer-to-peer applications)”]
