Host-Based Security

Host-Based Security refers to protective measures installed directly on individual computers or devices to defend against threats. This includes antivirus software, firewalls, and intrusion detection tools that monitor and block malicious activities at the device level. By securing each endpoint, organizations can prevent cyberattacks, detect suspicious behavior early, and control access to sensitive data. Essentially, it's like giving each device its own security system, ensuring that even if a network is compromised, the device remains protected from damage and unauthorized access.
