Endpoint

In plain language

Any computer, laptop, phone or tablet that connects to your business network.

The metaphor

Like each door and window of a building: every one is a way in, and each needs its own lock.

Going deeper

How it works

  • Includes laptops, desktops, phones and tablets.
  • Attackers target them through email and websites.
  • Each needs updates, protection and backup.
  • Lost or stolen ones are a risk.

How WILDCARD handles it

Workstation Defender protects business computers, and Patch Management keeps them current.

In practice
  • A laptop used at home.
  • A phone with company email.
  • A reception computer.

A question owners ask

Does a phone count? Yes. A phone with company email is an endpoint.
