Define endpoint computer

bbene

I am upgrading my Sophos on small business computers. Instructions keep referring to end point computers. Can someone define this?

    HI,

    The word endpoint changes slightly depending on the context I suspect.

    In terms of machines, an endpoint is typically anything other than the management server itself.  Although if you were talking about the "endpoint software" to mean SAV, SCF, AutoUpdate, you might say, I've installed the endpoint software on the server itself to mean I've installed the client side software.

    I hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Jak

      "End point" security is an information security concept that assumes that each device (end point) is responsible for its own security.

      End point security places the onus of security on the device itself. Examples exist with Broadband users' increasing use of desktop firewalls, spam and antivirus software. Endpoint security should include computer level tools that provide administrative control over the use of memory devices. Controlling the use of memory sticks, SD cards and other flash drive type memory devices. Endpoint security also includes the protection of a businesses network from employee memory devices that may unknowingly contain malware.

      Hope this helps.
