Part 6/10:
Beyond Endpoint Security: The Broader Security Ecosystem
The current focus is expanding from endpoint security—such as firewalls, sandboxing, and Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)—to encompass peripheral security measures that cover network perimeters, application interfaces, and infrastructure layers. It involves monitoring ports, services, APIs, databases, and user input forms, which are prime targets for cyberattackers.
This comprehensive coverage encompasses the entire attack surface, recognizing that vulnerabilities can be present anywhere—from outdated cloud services to insecure APIs.
