What is the 'endpoint'

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Maybe I'm just bad at comprehension, but I lack a description of what the _endpoint_ actually is. Most of the occurrences of the word _endpoint_ in the article are in _endpoint security_, but there are also mentions of the _endpoint_ itself, e.g.:

In addition to protecting an organization's endpoints from potential threats ...

I guess these are the PCs, cell phones and similar devices of the users of the network (i.e. not servers) but I wish this was explained (or perhaps linked to other relevant article).

Not your fault - this article is pure corporate-BS-speak - and needs a real workover into real English. - Snori (talk) 00:40, 9 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Article needs some work

Following the comment above about corporate-BS speak, while I skimmed the article, it is missing a lot of links and references

It seems like the {{Wikify}} template is deprecated, so I am putting the {{Ad}} template. Not sure if it is the best template, but need to call attention to this article. 18.29.120.199 (talk) 21:23, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
