Description: The Endpoint Security Policy refers to a set of rules and guidelines governing the security of endpoint devices, such as computers, mobile phones, and tablets, that connect to a network. This policy is essential for protecting an organization’s IT infrastructure, as endpoints are often the primary target of cyberattacks. Endpoint security policies establish protective measures, such as the installation of antivirus software, the implementation of firewalls, patch and update management, and data encryption. Additionally, these policies define incident response procedures and guidelines for the safe use of personal devices in corporate environments. In a Zero Trust context, where it is assumed that no entity, internal or external, is trustworthy by default, the endpoint security policy becomes a critical component in ensuring that each device is verified and authenticated before accessing network resources. This involves a proactive and continuous approach to monitoring and managing device security, ensuring they remain updated and protected against emerging threats.
