Description: An endpoint firewall is a security solution designed to protect individual devices within a network, such as computers, laptops, and mobile devices. Unlike traditional firewalls that are implemented at the network level, endpoint firewalls operate directly on the device, monitoring and controlling the data traffic that enters and exits. This technology allows organizations to establish specific security policies for each device, ensuring that only authorized traffic can access the network. Endpoint firewalls are essential in environments where employees use personal devices to access corporate resources, as they help prevent threats such as malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks. Additionally, they often include advanced features like intrusion detection, content filtering, and real-time threat protection, making them a comprehensive tool for modern cybersecurity. In a world where remote work and mobility are increasingly common, endpoint firewalls have become crucial for maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive information.
