Endpoint monitoring refers to the continuous observation and analysis of computers, mobile devices, and other network-connected endpoints to detect suspicious activities, security threats, or unauthorized access. By monitoring these devices in real time, organizations can quickly identify potential breaches, malware infections, or data theft attempts. Endpoint monitoring tools collect and analyze data such as login attempts, software changes, and network traffic, enabling security teams to respond rapidly to incidents and minimize risks. This proactive approach is essential for maintaining cybersecurity in modern, distributed work environments.
