Explanation

A minimal implementation of endpoint security typically includes host-based firewalls. Endpoint security refers to securing the devices that connect to a network (e.g., computers, smartphones, tablets, etc.). A host-based firewall is a critical component of endpoint security because it controls inbound and outbound traffic on the individual device, helping to prevent unauthorized access and blocking potentially malicious traffic. A host-based firewall can: Monitor and filter traffic specific to the device. Block malicious inbound connections and prevent sensitive data from being sent out. Offer protection against threats that might bypass perimeter defenses.
