Endpoint security - statistics & facts
While technological developments offer huge economic and social opportunities, they also change the nature and magnitude of possible IT security threats. In recent years, endpoint security – the protection of network-connected computing devices communicating with other points and devices across the network – has become an essential aspect of modern cybersecurity. From PCs, tablets, and mobile phones to smart vehicles and light bulbs, these devices form endpoints on a network, although they are often the starting point of a cyberattack, which is why a focus on endpoint security is essential. The global endpoint security market is projected to reach over 16 billion U.S. dollars in 2024 and is forecast to keep growing as cybersecurity is of paramount importance to businesses today.
