Each node or computing device is an endpoint. Endpoint security is the new industry terminology for antivirus/antimalware/etc.

[tptacek]

It's a very old term; endpoint security is in contrast to network security, where you try to block bad things at network boards. Firewalls are the archetypical network defense, antivirus (very unfortunately) the archetypical endpoint defense; osquery would be an example of a modern open-source endpoint security tool.

thoughts on CarbonBlack or Palo Alto’s Traps? Separate category, but what about OKTA?? (I hear they are crushing it)

Do you think what ServiceNow is doing in ITSM is really special?

[danpalmer]

It's often got quite a different focus to antivirus/anitmalware, a lot more about identifying and preventing data exfiltration for example.
