Applying Endpoint Security across Data Centres and Cloud

Abstract

The digital landscape is increasingly shifting towards cloud-based solutions and distributed data centers, which has necessitated enhanced security measures to protect sensitive data and maintain system integrity. Endpoint security, traditionally focused on individual devices, has evolved to address the complexities of modern IT infrastructures that span across on-premises data centers and cloud environments. This paper reviews the current state of endpoint security in data centers and cloud environments, explores the challenges associated with its implementation, and provides insights into emerging trends and best practices for robust security frameworks. We also examine recent advancements in endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions, their integration with cloud-native security tools, and the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in augmenting security posture.
