why is endpoint security so important to an organization?

Endpoints are where information turns into action, and that action produces value; on the way into the system, it is where action produces
valuable information. This is where business actually gets done and work accomplished. Without the endpoints, the system is meaningless.
Users, who interact with organizational IT infrastructures and information at the endpoints, are notoriously difficult to control; if we can better
control and secure the endpoints themselves, then we can prevent most end user introduced security problems.
While endpoints are where many users do information work, organizational managers and leaders draw their decision support at the systems
level, and not from an endpoint device such as a smartphone. Data quality and software quality processes need to ensure that once data enters
the system from an endpoint, it is then protected to meet CIANA needs throughout its life.
Endpoints are what most users and customers see, and if endpoints are not secure, users and customers will not engage with our security
programs and help us keep the system safe.
