Description: Endpoint compliance refers to the practice of ensuring that all devices accessing a network adhere to the security policies and regulations established by an organization. This includes verifying that devices such as computers, mobile phones, and tablets are updated with the latest software patches, antivirus, and security configurations. In a cloud security environment, endpoint compliance is crucial for protecting the organization’s data and resources, as devices can be vulnerable entry points for cyberattacks. Implementing a Zero Trust approach in the cloud reinforces this practice, as it assumes that no device, whether internal or external, should be trusted by default. Therefore, rigorous authentication and authorization are required for every access. Key features of endpoint compliance include device management, continuous security monitoring, and the application of context-based access policies. This approach not only helps mitigate risks but also ensures that the organization complies with security regulations and standards, which is essential in an increasingly complex and regulated digital landscape.
