    This document is a review of an endpoint security quiz attempt where the user answered 10 questions correctly and received full marks. It shows that endpoints are an easy point of entry into a network for threat actors. Having a single security agent on endpoints solves issues like a lack of integration and visibility. Endpoints include computer devices and IoT devices. Early antivirus was signature-based but became less effective against polymorphic malware. Modern solutions use machine learning, virtual patches, web filtering, encryption, antivirus, and forensics tools.
